Marinko Matosevic shocked many by sending Milos Raonic home to Canada a little earlier than he’d expected before Rogers Cup. Matosevic won 7-5, 6-2 to advance to the quarterfinals at Citi Open on August 1, 2013. In a one on one interview after the match, he said “I don’t know if it’s the biggest win of my career, but it is definitely a big win beating Milos in a big tournament like Washington.” Later, he added, “I think I’m going in the right direction. I want to make that next push, not just to get back to my ranking (#39 in Februrary), but seeded at the Slams and try to get to top 30 this year”.

He also said he developed a case of acute food poisoning last month in Newport, Rhode Island, while playing in the International Hall of Fame Tennis Championships. He retired to Jack Sock in the first round and stated that it’s not likely he’ll return. Marinko, food poisoning is hell, but Newport in July is almost heaven. Please Reconsider.
