Canadian tennis player Milos Raonic is pulling out of this week's ATP Tour event in Acapulco.

He wants to take some time to rest after a hectic schedule over the last few weeks.

Raonic says he's already played about two dozen matches this season, which is well ahead of his usual pace.

The hard-serving Canadian has rocketed to No. 37 in the ATP Tour world rankings.

He recorded his first tournament victory this month in San Jose and made it to the final of the Memphis tournament last weekend in Memphis.

Raonic feels the rest will serve him well as he prepares for next month's Davis Cup tie against Mexico and Masters 1000 events at Indian Wells and Miami.
