Main article: Milos Raonic

The 2014 Milos Raonic tennis season began at the Australian Open. Despite an ankle injury, Raonic reached the third round of the Australian Open, where he lost to Grigor Dimitrov. This injury, however, forced him off the courts for a month. He returned in March to play the BNP Paribas Open where he would beat Andy Murray to reach the quarterfinals. However, Raonic would end up losing to Alexandr Dolgopolov in straight sets. At the Miami Masters he reached the quarterfinals for a second consecutive Masters 1000 tournament, where he lost to Rafael Nadal. This run saw him return to the top 10.

Raonic then participated in the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters, making his third consecutive quarterfinals at Masters 1000 events before dropping the semifinal decision to Stanislas Wawrinka in straight sets. The result garnered Raonic a career-high ranking as world no. 9. At the Internazionali BNL d'Italia, Raonic defeated Jérémy Chardy in the quarterfinals to reach his first ever Masters 1000 semifinal on clay. He lost in the semis to eventual champion Novak Djokovic.

In the third round of the French Open, Raonic outlasted Gilles Simon in five sets, followed by a fourth round win over Marcel Granollers in straight sets. By reaching his first Grand Slam quarterfinal, Raonic became the first Canadian man to do so in the Open Era. Novak Djokovic won their quarterfinal encounter in straight sets.

Raonic next played at Halle, but had a disappointing early round exit. However, at the 2014 Wimbledon Championships, Raonic reached his first Wimbledon quarterfinal, only losing one set to Kei Nishikori in the process. He then defeated Nick Kyrgios in four sets; in doing so, he became the first Canadian men's singles player to reach the semifinals at a Grand Slam since Robert Powell in 1908. Raonic then faced Roger Federer in the semifinals. It was the fifth meeting between the two, and Raonic lost again to Federer, this time in straight sets. Despite the loss, Raonic saw his world ranking rise from No. 9 to No. 6. In his next tournament, Raonic reached his first final of the year at the Citi Open where he faced compatriot Vasek Pospisil in the first all-Canadian final in ATP history, where he won the title in straight sets. It was his first career 500 series title, after previously losing in the final of four other 500 series events.
