It doesn't affect Raonic at all. He made the 3rd round last year and he makes the 3rd round this year. He defends his 90 points. If he had won today, he'd would have improved to 180 points.

It doesn't make sense to me because it seems to reward guys for going to little tournaments and doing well rather than playing with the big boys.
Raonic seems like a guy that is constantly going out in the early rounds of the Slams but wins a tournament in Podunk, NJ against the 24th and 30th ranked guys in the world and gets to keep his high ranking.
Just seems if you are the 14th player in the world you should be making it to the 4th round (ie top 16) of the Slams more often than not.
But perhaps that is more to do with the poor state of Men's tennis where outside the top ~8 it seems like a mixed bag and it is others being equally as inconsitent in slams than the ranking system.
