MONTREAL — Juan Martin Del Potro is not happy with Canadian ace Milos Raonic.

The Argentine was angry that Canada's top player apparently got away with touching the net with his hand during an important point in their third round match Thursday night at the Rogers Cup.

The foul occurred on break point in the eighth game of Raonic's 7-5, 6-4 victory.

Afterwards, Del Potro tweeted in English: "Very upset after the match I lost. About the end… I think everyone saw what happened."

Raonic said it was too important of a point to call a foul on himself.

"I was fortunate that the line judge didn't see it," he said. "It's a lucky thing for me in my sense, unlucky for him. Something that can go really both ways.

"It's the exact same thing as having no challenges left and you get a bad line call. It's bad luck. It was hard to be able to take this point on such a big point."

When asked if he should have called it on himself, Raonic said: "It's a big point. I don't know if you can put somebody in the situation — being down break point, same thing happens, do you call it on yourself?"
