Milos Raonic became the first major casualty of the U.S. Open when
American qualifier Ryan Harrison shocked the Canadian fifth seed 6-7(4)
7-5 7-5 6-1 on Wednesday Aug 31,2016 to reach the third round of the year's final
grand slam.
Milos Raonic, who last month became the first Canadian man to reach the Wimbledon final, arrived at Flushing Meadows looking to take the next big step in his career but his bid was cut short by the 120th-ranked Harrison.
The 24-year-old American, who beat Raonic once in their previous two meetings, came prepared to give the sixth-ranked Canadian a battle and proved the more durable during in a three hour, 37 minute match played in sweltering conditions.
Ryan Harrison, who advanced to the third round of a grand slam for the first time, will next meet Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis, a 6-2 6-4 3-6 6-4 winner over Frenchman Benoit Paire.
