Milos Raonics stock has never been higher. The 21-year-old from Thornhill, Ont., jumped up two places in this weeks ATP world rankings to a career-best No. 23 after a semifinal showing on the red clay at the Barcelona Open. The hard-serving Raonic upset world No. 4 Andy Murray 6-4, 7-6 (3) in the quarter-finals before falling 7-6 (2), 7-6 (5) to No. 6 David Ferrer in the semis on Saturday. Raonic said Wednesday that despite the loss, his game continues to improve ahead of a busy summer. "I felt like I played well and a lot of things are coming together and I feel like Im progressing in a very good manner," he said on a conference call. "Im feeling more and more confident, especially on the clay and its giving me a lot of confidence. "Normally when it gets to tiebreaks I do pretty well in those situations. I didnt on Saturday but its a situation I feel pretty confident being in." The six-foot-five Raonic, who has now beaten six top-10 players in his career, plans on playing only big tournaments this summer, including the Grand Slams and the Summer Olympics. "Ill play one smaller event only and that will pretty much allow me to be healthy and be at my best come the big tournaments," Raonic said. "Its also going to give me time to work on a few things." Raonics win over Murray marked the first time a Canadian had beaten a top-10 player on clay at an ATP event since Martin Wostenholme of Oakville, Ont., beat 10th-ranked Alberto Mancini of Argentina in 1989 at Stuttgart. cheap jerseys from china .
