LONDON (Reuters) - Milos Raonic is confident that the new crop of young players who have made Wimbledon sit up and take notice are closing the gap on their elders and betters despite falling short at the business end of the championships.

After young gun Grigor Dimitrov succumbed to top seed Novak Djokovic in the first of Friday's semi-finals, 23-year-old Canadian Raonic capitulated in straight sets against seven-times champion Roger Federer.
