Milos Raonic won’t be playing at Wimbledon 2024.
The Canadian player couldn’t get a wild card to enter the main draw. He had hoped to return and play well like he did in 2016 when he reached the final, but it won’t happen this year.
Raonic’s ranking wasn’t high enough for direct entry due to not playing much tennis lately. The only way was through a wild card, which he didn’t receive .
When Wimbledon announced the wild card recipients, Raonic’s name was missing. This meant he’d have to go through qualifying rounds if he wanted to compete. He has a history of doing well at Wimbledon with one semi-final and two quarter-finals besides his final appearance.

Similar Situations:
This situation is similar to Caroline Wozniacki’s experience at Roland Garros. She didn’t get a wild card either and chose not to play in the qualifiers, leading her to withdraw from the event altogether.
Raonic made a similar choice, possibly due to some physical issues. Given his cautious approach this year, it’s not surprising that he’s being careful with his schedule.
Recently, Raonic played at the Libema Open where he defeated Jordan Thompson, who had just beaten Holger Rune at another tournament.
Fans might feel disappointed because they won’t see Raonic’s amazing serves at Wimbledon this year after his record-breaking performance for most aces in a single match recently.
