Milos Raonic defeated Jesper De Jong 7–6 6–4 in the first round of the ATP 250 Rotterdam event on hard court on 12 February 2024. As the pre-match favourite with odds of 1.68 to De Jong's 2.31, Raonic delivered the expected result, though De Jong mounted sufficient resistance to take the opening set to a tiebreak before Raonic secured both sets. The Canadian's victory maintains his momentum in the early stages of the indoor hard-court season and sets up a second-round encounter.
