Milos Raonic defeated Alexander Bublik 6–4, 6–4 in the second round of the ATP 250 Rotterdam tournament on hard court on 14 February 2024, an upset victory against the pre-match favourite. Bublik entered as the odds-on favourite at 1.56, but Raonic's straightforward two-set performance demonstrated superior consistency throughout. The Canadian's composed approach neutralised Bublik's attacking game, allowing him to control the baseline exchanges and dictate play without requiring a third set. Raonic's progression to the quarter-finals marks a significant momentum boost after a period of limited tournament activity, whilst Bublik's early exit represents a disappointing result for a player seeded to go deeper in the draw.
