Canadian Milos Raonic is pleased with his tennis injury comeback progress despite missing a chance for a Stockholm Open final.
The big server, who underwent hip surgery in July after Wimbledon, lost a lead and paid the price in a three-set loss against Gael Monfils in Sweden.
"I had some sloppy mistakes," said 29th-ranked Raonic, who led a set and a break in the semifinal. "He's a Top 10 player so he'll take those and run with them.
"Overall it's been a good week. It just came down to a few tight games that didn't go my way. I didn't manage them well; that's something I have to work on."
Raonic was competing in only his third tournament since his return this month in Asia. All three of his losses have come against the Top 10 elite.
He went down to Rafael Nadal in Tokyo, lost to David Ferrer in Shanghai and was beaten in Stockholm by Monfils, the world No. 10 who is hoping to earn a place to next month's World Tour Finals in London.
"I'm making good progress," said Raonic. "I'm focusing on my serve, it's a big part of my game. I never expected to be playing this well so soon after coming back. I'm pretty happy with everything."
