TORONTO — Third-round play at the National Bank Open men’s tennis tournament is delayed due to rain.

Canada’s Milos Raonic was down a break to American Mackenzie McDonald when play was suspended at Sobeys Stadium.

McDonald broke Raonic in the opening game and had a 3-2 lead in the opening set.

Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., is the lone Canadian left in the singles draw at the Masters 1000 tournament.

The former world No. 3 is playing in his third tournament since returning from an injury break of nearly two years.

In the early match on the grandstand court, Spain’s Alejandro Davidovich Fokina has a 7-6 (4), 2-3 lead on third-seeded Norwegian Casper Ruud.
