Milos Raonic announced his retirement from professional tennis on 12 January. The Canadian reached a career-high ATP ranking of world No.3, built around one of the tour's most influential serves and a consistent presence in the later rounds of major tournaments.

Raonic reached the 2016 Wimbledon final and became an important reference point in the expansion of Canadian men's tennis. His retirement is therefore both a personal career milestone and a transition moment for a national programme whose international profile changed during his playing years.
