CINCINNATI – Milos Raonic is the first Canadian men’s singles player to be ranked in the top 10, thanks to his run to the final of the Rogers Cup.

The star player from Thornhill, Ont., who lost to Rafael Nadal in Sunday’s final in Montreal, is No. 10 in the new ATP rankings released Monday.

He moved up three spots from No. 13, his previous career high.

Raonic didn’t have the biggest jump in the rankings among Canadian men.

Vasek Pospisil of Vernon, B.C., who lost to Raonic in the Rogers Cup semifinals, rose 31 spots to No. 40 to reach his career high.

Nadal moved up one spot to No. 3 after winning the Rogers Cup.
