SAN JOSE, Calif. — Canada’s Milos Raonic has defended his title at the SAP Open.
Raonic beat Uzbekistan’s Denis Istomin 7-6, 6-2 in the final to win the tournament he first won in his breakout season last year.
The Thornhill, Ont., native fired seven aces while breaking Istomin twice.
Raonic rose to as high as No. 25 in the rankings last year — the highest ever for a Canadian — before his season derailed on Wimbledon’s grass.
He still earned ATP Newcomer of the Year honours after his first title at San Jose.
