Raonic withdrew due to a hamstring tear in his right leg, an
injury he said he had picked up while beating Argentine Juan
Martin del Potro in straight sets in a semi-final on Saturday
night.
"I didn't think much of it," Raonic told the Tennis Channel. "I
thought it was just tightness from the match, but this morning I
woke up unable to walk properly and did quite extensive
treatment with my team.
"We came down to the conclusion that it was a slight tear of the
hamstring in my right leg."
Sock’s second ATP title of the year followed his Auckland Open
victory last month.
The 24-year-old American did not drop a set all week. He has an
11-1 record this year and is expected to rise to 18th in the
world rankings on Monday.
