Milos Raonic: 'There's a big target on my back'

Second seed Milos Raonic plans to continue "fighting through" his matches at the World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam in order to claim a fifth indoors title.

Milos Raonic believes that he can do "much better" as he goes in search of a fifth indoors title at the World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam.

The number two seed saw off qualifier Andrey Kuznetsov 6-7(5) 6-1 7-5 in his opening-round match on Tuesday to set up a meeting with Simone Bolelli.

"It's about fighting through," the Canadian pro told ATP World Tour. "I kept my attitude together, which allowed me to get my game and find answers towards the end, and that's why I was able to win.

"I think there is a big target on my back. I'm the No. 6 player in the world right now, and I feel like I can do much better. Every round is an opportunity for someone to pick up a positive win."

Raonic was knocked out of the recent Australian Open at the quarter-final stage following defeat at the hands of eventual winner Novak Djokovic.
