GAME, SET AND MATCH! - RAONIC 6-1 7-6(0) 6-1 MANNARINO. The Canadian secures a straight sets victory in one hour and 36 minutes. The first and third were supreme while the second shows his capability when put under pressure by a player trying everything to work his way back in. Many still feel Raonic has Grand Slams in him, but it remains to be seen just how far he can go here despite this impressive showing.
-
RAONIC 6-1 7-6(0) 5-1 MANNARINO. Muted but warm applause for Adrian as he avoids the humiliation of the bagel with a hold to 30 and some solid serving that had completely evaded him in the preceding part of the set. Raonic will now almost certainly serve it out.
-
RAONIC 6-1 7-6(0) 5-0 MANNARINO. To bagel or not to bagel, that is the question - and it's the only question left in this match. Raonic pummels down the big serves to clinch the love hold. Mannarino serving to save face a bit now after being outclassed.

BREAK! - RAONIC 6-1 7-6(0) 4-0 MANNARINO. The fat lady is luring in the background and warming up those vocal chords. Mannarino knows the game is up and offers little resistance as Raonic efficiently clinches the double break.
-
RAONIC 6-1 7-6(0) 3-0 MANNARINO. The number eight seed consolidates with ease. This has been hugely impressive from the Canadian. He set off like a train, held firm when Mannarino responded and now looks set to go in for the kill after crushing French hopes in the TB.

BREAK! - RAONIC 6-1 7-6(0) 2-0 MANNARINO. And there it is. Mannarino looks like man who knows this match is beyond him. The crowd are subdued as the business-like Raonic goes about putting this to bed.
-
RAONIC 6-1 7-6(0) 1-0 MANNARINO. Milos keen to keep Mannarino and the crowd on a downer. A solid hold gives him the psychological edge of the lead at the start of the third. An early break here would surely be it for Adrian.

RAONIC 6-1 7-6(0) MANNARINO. What a collapse from Mannarino. After such an impressive set, he completely capitulates to lose the TB 7-0! Raonic well on course for round three now with a 2-0 lead.

RAONIC 6-1 6-6 MANNARINO. Milos recovers from 15-30 down to get himself out of a hole and clinch the game. You'd fancy the Canadian in the TB, but stranger things have happened...
-
RAONIC 6-1 5-6 MANNARINO. Adrian ensures himself the minimum of a TB with a hold to 30. A big first serve does the damage to get him over the line. Raonic serving to take it to the TB.
-
RAONIC 6-1 5-5 MANNARINO. Pressure, what pressure? It's a love hold in quick-fire time for Raonic. It's 5-5 - are we heading for a TB?
-
RAONIC 6-1 4-5 MANNARINO. Adrian doing his best to keep this home crowd interested. He's trying to apply some pressure on Raonic. So far the Canadian has powered through his service games but if there is a wobble the Frenchman is showing signs he could be ready to pounce.
-
RAONIC 6-1 4-4 MANNARINO. A very even set enters the business end with neither player budging on serve. Raonic is as cool as ever, but can he do some damage to Mannarino like he did in the opener?
-
GREAT PASSING SHOT. He might be one-set down, but this was glorious stuff from Adrian Mannarino...
-
RADWANSKA 6-2 4-3 GARCIA. A jig of joy from Garcia as she makes the breakthrough with a stonking final point to break! She beckons to the crowd, calling for more support. The French woman has slowly but surely made a mark on this match and finds her way through Aga's defences at the second time of asking. There's still some way to go but there's a glimmer of hope now.
-
RAONIC 6-1 2-3 MANNARINO. Still on serve. This is much better from Mannarino. He seemed to freeze in that opener. Now he's making more shots and getting more first serves in. The big question is whether he can make more of an impression on Raonic's big weapon... the serve.
-
RAONIC 6-1 1-2 MANNARINO. Adrian overcomes a mini blip and a double fault from 40-15 to hold firm from deuce. We're still on serve in the second set. Can the Frenchman make this more of a match now?
