Milos Raonic watched Djokovic-Shapovalov match, praises Denis
In a press conference at the Australian Open the Canadian was asked if he saw the match between his compatriot and . The Serb prevailed in four sets while Raonic was preparing for his match against Pierre-Hugues Herbert.
I only caught that sort of comeback that he made in the fourth set third set, sorry, that comeback from 4-1 down, said Raonic. Novak looked like he was going to go up 5-2, as well. He fought back and did some things extremely well.
I went to do ice bath. It went by quickly. Hes playing well. I didnt watch so much of today because I had my own things to do. I saw his other two matches this week. Hes playing well. I think hes added a few things to his game.
Hes stepped up, improved a few things. Now hes got to keep putting himself in that situation. I think things will come for him. Hes very capable. Asked what he did during his day off, Raonic replied: I tried to sleep in.
I saw a movie. Went to the gym for an hour and a half. Did a few things. I didnt feel I needed to be on court. Also coming here, its not like people think: you come here and go on court for an hour. Thats not the scenario.
You have to come an hour and a half early, warm up, cool down. It ends up being a three-hour hoorah that you stay out here. I stayed away from that, tried to give myself a chance to get in as much fluid, eat well, to recover and be fresh for today.
