| by Evita Mueller

The win of Milos Raonic over Frances Tiafoe at the 2023 Canadian Open was a sensational one, but the match featured a very controversial moment.

Milos Raonic and Frances Tiafoe battled for three sets, with the Canadian ultimately winning the match at the ATP 1000 event in Toronto. The first set belonged to Frances Tiafoe, who secured the set after a very controversial point that was ultimately ruled in his favour.

The whole ordeal lasted a few minutes with the umpire changing his decision a few times ultimately landing on the point belonging to Tiafoe. Raonic was asked about the point after his win over Taro Daniel, and he admitted it was the right decision.

It was the right call by Fergus. I think for me the main thing was just the back and forth on it, the fact that there was a few changes about that decision, like, two or three at least.

So, obviously, when somebody changes their mind, you're not exactly sure if they are kind of sure in the decision they're making.

The Canadian wasn't shaken by the decision but rather continued playing well and ultimately secured the win with a fantastic level in the final set. He added another win to his tally against Daniel and will face Mackenzie McDonald in the next round.

That's a very winnable match for him and many will expect him to get it done. When it comes to his win over Daniel, the Canadian was very happy with the level and the fact that it was a rather quick one. It will help him recover quicker.

Yeah, it's good. You know, that match was difficult physically, emotionally on Monday. So to come back today and play a pretty clean match, you know, it counts. It makes a difference today. It will make a difference for tomorrow, as well, so that's something to be happy about.
