Milos Raonic booked his place in the last four of the ATP World Tour Finals by beating Dominic Thiem in their final round-robin match. Both players went into the tie knowing a win would take them through to the semis as group runner-up behind Novak Djokovic.Thiem performed well, but Raonic prevailed 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 thanks largely to the strength of his serve and will now play the winner of Andy Murrays group on Saturday. Shot of the matchThiem lost the first-set tie break, but this backhand winner to take a 2-1 lead was nevertheless a moment to cherish. Dominic Thiem beats Raonic with a brilliant backhand winner Raonics reactionI got fortunate at the end of the first set there to hit three aces. That helped me out and saved me in a lot of important moments today. I stuck with my weapons and I stuck with what I know how to do best and I was fortunate to get through today.It wasnt a round-robin match; it was a quarter-final for the both of us, and Im fortunate I was able to win it. Raonic gives his reaction to beating Thiem Expert opinionGreg Rusedski: Raonic got the job done. He was a little bit nervous early on, but he found a way to push through and he got better with each set. It was a match he was expected to win and he got the job done.Barry Cowan: He can certainly hold his head up high, can Dominic Thiem. He will be a better player for it. He still prefers the slower surface, but I thought he played very well all week. Raonic played the sort of tennis you would expect in these type of conditions. He is serving unbelievably well. His numbers on first serve and second serve will make him a force come the weekend. Raonic analyses his game at the SkyPad The matchThiem played the better of the two in the opening set, but with Raonics booming serve proving unbreachable, he was unable to force a break and it went to a tie break.Thiem opened up a 4-2 lead and looked on course to take the set, but an error opened the door for a Raonic comeback and the Canadian took full advantage to win the tie break 7-5.

MANCHESTER, England -- World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury could lose his license on Wednesday when British boxing chiefs discuss the future of the troubled fighter, who has admitted to taking cocaine to deal with manic depression.The British Boxing Board of Control will hold a meeting in Cardiff and general secretary Robert Smith has said Furys recent issues will be among the subjects up for discussion.Fury has not fought since beating Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015 to claim the WBA, WBO and IBF titles. He has twice pulled out of a rematch with Klitschko, the second withdrawal coming last month -- ahead of a scheduled Oct. 29 fight -- when Fury was declared medically unfit by his team.The World Boxing Organization confirmed in a statement released Monday that it received a report from the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA) in the United States showing that Fury failed a drug test on Sept. 22, and asked Fury if he has requested analysis of a `B sample. The WBO also said it received information from the British board that Fury refused to be drug-tested last month.In a rambling interview with Rolling Stone magazine published earlier this month, Fury is quoted as saying he has been bingeing on cocaine and alcohol to deal with manic depression.ddddddddddddIve been out drinking, Monday to Friday to Sunday, Fury told the magazine. Ive taken drugs, cocaine, on many, many occasions for the last six months.In the interview, he also described himself as a manic depressive and said: I just hope someone kills me before I kill myself.Britains former two-weight world champion, Ricky Hatton, had his license taken away by the British board in 2010 following widespread allegations about the use of cocaine. It was returned two years later following a personal hearing.Fury was stripped of the IBF title soon after beating Klitschko, for not fighting a mandatory challenger. The WBO said in its statement on Monday that Fury had 10 days to show why his WBO belt should not be vacated due to inactivity, breach of contract and performance-enhancing drugs and stimulants.If the 28-year-old Fury loses his license, Klitschko and IBF champion Anthony Joshua could fight for the new vacant world titles.
