The Missile won't be launching in Delray Beach next week.
Milos Raonic has withdrawn from next week's Delray Beach tournament due to a right abductor injury he suffered in his five-set Australian Open semifinal loss to Andy Murray.

"I'm disappointed that I won't be able to make my debut in Delray Beach on Tuesday because I am still recovering from the injury that I suffered at the Australian Open," said Raonic in a statment. "I heard that there would be great support from Canadians in the area, so I hope to be able to play in Delray Beach next year."
The tournament also announced that 2009 US Open champion Juan Martin del Potro, who accepted a wild card into Delray Beach last week, will take Raonic's prime-time slot on Tuesday night at 8:00 pm.
Del Potro will be playing his first match in nearly a year due to a series of wrist injuries that have sidelined the former world No. 5. His first-round opponent in the 32-player tournament will be determined Friday evening when the tournament releases its 2016 draw.
The 10-day Delray Beach Open kicks off this Friday, first with the three-day ATP Champions Tour, and then the ATP World Tour event which is scheduled for Monday, Feburary 15th- Sunday, February 21st.
