Milos please take a break!

Milos Raonic is the hottest thing on tour right now, winning matches everywhere (and I mean everywhere) and his ranking is shooting up at lightning pace. Here's my concern: after reaching the 4th round at the Australian Open, he flew to Johannesburg, South Africa and played qualies and 2 main draw matches. Then he went to San Jose, California and won the thing, and this past week he played 5, 3 set matches in reaching the Memphis final. Now he's jetting off to Acapulco, Mexico to play on clay ahead of the Canada/Mexico Davis Cup Tie to be held in Mexico. He will most certainly be playing in the big Masters 1000 events in Indian Wells and Miami so there is no break in sight. But burnout is very possible and with the two masters events, that is a worrying proposition. He should also take some time off so that he re-fuels for the rest of a very long season. That's my 2 cents anyway. Winning San Jose or Memphis might be nice but you always want to peak at the big events.
