Milos Raonic is closing in on the top of the tennis world through hard work and a never-ending desire to be the best.

He kicked off 2016 with nine straight wins including a title in Brisbane, in which he bested Roger Federer. He became the first Canadian man to reach the semifinals of the Australian Open after he defeated Gael Monfils in four sets Wednesday night in Melbourne.

After a disappointing 2015 plagued by injuries that saw him miss the French Open with his ranking falling from No. 4 to No. 14, Raonic is back on track to fulfill his incredible potential. He said earlier in the tournament that he hadn’t felt this good physically since last year’s Australian Open.

His fourth-round win over Stan Wawrinka was a major stepping-stone.

I feel like I'm putting in the work and I'm getting the results from it.
— Milos Raonic
