Warning! Spoiler Alert. Wimbledon Mens Finals Results
Congratulations to Milos Roanic! The ONLY Canadian mens finalist at Wimbledon.Ever.
A few fun facts about Milos:
1. He’s True To Canada: Despite not being born in Canada (Raonic was born in what is now Podgorica, Montenegro and moved to Canada with his family when he was three years old), he has remained loyal to his Canadian ties. “It’s important to me to defend the Canadian colors. And I don’t just do it in tennis. I might not follow hockey as much as the average Canadian, but I support several Canadian teams,” he said. “Basically, it’s a country with a lot of great things. And so yes, I’m proud to be Canadian.”
5. His Idol Is Pistol Pete: Raonic is very open about the fact that Pete Sampras was his idol growing up, and their similarities are uncanny. Raonic was able to meet him for the first time in San Jose last year and described the moment as “surreal,” saying “It was nice to connect the man to the game that I watched for so many hours. I taped most of his matches and watched them over and over again. If he was playing in Melbourne, my parents would let me stay up. Sampras was the person to study, the model to learn from. It's something else meeting someone you've always looked up to.”
You'll get 'em next time Milos!
