The Canadian's availability for the French Open may be in danger as there's no word on how long Raonic will be out of action.
Raonic reached the quarterfinals of the Mutua Madrid Open where he was defeated by Andy Murray 6-4, 7-5 on Friday. His best finish of 2015 occurred in January at the Brisbane International, where he was runner-up to Roger Federer, losing 6-4, 6-7, 6-4.
