He hadn't won a match since the third round of the Miami Masters in March 2021.

The big-serving Raonic will hope to add to his tally of four Wimbledon quarter-finals next month. He faces Jordan Thompson or Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in the second round in the Netherlands.
Daniil Medvedev is the tournament's top seed. The Russian lost in last year's final by surprise home winner Tim van Rijthoven.
