Milos Raonic Parents: Meet Vesna Raonic, Dušan Raonic

Milos Raonic is a professional tennis player from Canada. He is the son of Vesna Raonic and Dušan Raonic.

His parents are engineers. His father, Dušan has a PhD in electrical engineering and his mother, Vesna, has degrees in mechanical and computer engineering, including a master’s.

He has two older siblings: Jelena, who is eleven years older, and Momir, who is nine years older. Raonic’s uncle, Branimir Gvozdenovi, is a politician in Montenegro’s government, serving as Deputy Prime Minister. Raonic is bilingual.

Milos Raonic’s first, brief exposure to tennis came at the age of six or seven when he attended a week-long tennis camp at the Bramalea Tennis Club in Brampton.

His father sought out coach Casey Curtis at the Blackmore Tennis Club in nearby Richmond Hill, Ontario to coach him.  His parents and siblings encouraged him to play tennis by driving him to practise and tournaments, but they did not push him or interfere with his coaching.

Milos Raonic went pro in 2008. The Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) has ranked him as high as world No. 3 in singles, which he first achieved on November 21, 2016, making him the highest-ranked Canadian player in history.
