OTTAWA — Tennis star Milos Raonic has withdrawn from Canada’s Davis Cup World Group tie against Britain after a nagging adductor injury flared up during his recent Australian Open run. Raonic said he came into Melbourne nursing his thigh muscle after injuring it earlier this month at an Australian Open warmup in Brisbane. “I am sad and disappointed that I am unable to compete alongside the Canadian Davis Cup team versus Great Britain,” Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., said in a statement. “I sustained an injury during my previous match in Australia that will keep me off the court for the coming weeks. Polansky will be competing in his 11th Davis Cup tie and making his return to the squad for the first time since 2014.
