MELBOURNE — An admirer of Chinese contemporary artist Ai Weiwei and American pop-art master Andy Warhol, Milos Raonic is now trying to create his own portfolio of memorable work, albeit on a tennis court.
The 25-year-old became the first Canadian man to reach the semi-finals of the Australian Open and Raonic hopes that his ground-breaking journey does not end when he faces British second seed Andy Murray in the semi-finals.
"It's a very positive thing if you look at the big picture. Right now in this moment alone it's a great opportunity for me," the Montenegro-born 13th seed said following his 6-3 3-6 6-3 6-4 over French maverick Gael Monfils.
