As Arash Madani reports, Milos Raonic now has a chance to make noise at a Masters 1000 event for the first time in over two years, meanwhile Raonic has found a way to play loose and avoid that pressure feeling that comes along with playing at home.

Third-round matches at the National Bank Open in Toronto were paused just after 1 p.m. ET due to rain.

Tournament organizers initially announced that play would not resume before 1:45 p.m. but adjusted that time to 2:30 p.m.

Among the players on court at the time of the delay was Canadian Milos Raonic, who trailed American Mackenzie McDonald 3-2 in the first set. Raonic is trying to reach the quarterfinals at Canada's annual tournament for the first time since 2016.
