The title holder is
still there! Beaten last week in three sets by Rafael Nadal in Abu Dhabi during
an exhibition tournament, Milos Raonic took his revenge this Friday in the
quarterfinals in Brisbane. A great three-game win for the Canadian (4-6, 6-3,
6-4) and 2:20 'of game in a very tight match against the Spaniard. After the
loss of the first set and a missed start, the world number 3 was able to
reverse the steam thanks to its service and its 23 aces, saving two balls of
break in the second inning and then unrolling. In the semi-final, Milos Raonic
will meet Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov, who dismissed earlier Dominic Thiem
earlier.
