Second Serve

 


Milos Raonic has a simple strategy to return to the Wimbledon final: Improve everything.

Reflecting on his 6-4, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2) loss to Andy Murray in the championship match, Raonic vowed to try to improve all areas of his game in an effort to get back to the final.

"I'm going to work on everything," Raonic told the media. "I'm not going to leave any stone unturned. I'm going to try to get myself back in this position, try to be better in this position.

"I'm going to try to get fitter, stronger. I'm going to try to improve my return game, improve my serve. I can improve there. Improve my efficiency coming forward. There's not one thing that I'm not going to try to improve.

"Obviously now we have to focus on what the most important thing is to put as much attention as I can because I can't focus on everything the whole time. We'll discuss that as a team and we'll try to take it from there."

Asked whether Hall of Famer John McEnroe, who joined Raonic's coaches Riccardo Piatti and Carlos Moya as a coaching consultant for the grass-court season, will remain part of the team, Raonic said he will speak to McEnroe about his role.

"I haven't spoke about anything, but I'm sure we're going to have that discussion over the next 24 hours," Raonic said immediately after the final. "I think we'll probably try to find an extent that it can work, he can help me, and try to make the most of it."

A sense of self-discovery was one of the rewards Raonic gained playing his first Grand Slam final. He called his run to the final "phenomenal."

"I stepped up in a semifinal that twice I struggled in in the past," Raonic said. "I stepped up. I did a great thing there. Came back from two sets to love down, which is a first time for me. "I showed guts. I showed vigor. I got to carry that through to the next events."
