Seeded sixth and runner-up last year to Andy Murray, Raonic kept his cool on the crunch points, taking five of eight opportunities to break while the 20-year-old 10th seed converted just three of 18.


The big-serving Canadian sealed the match with his 23rd ace after close to 3-1/2 hours` play.


Raonic will face Roger Federer in Wednesday`s quarter-final.
