Raonic beats Cilic to make Aussie Open quarters
MELBOURNE, Jan 26, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – Big Canadian Milos Raonic blasted into
his fifth Australian Open quarter-final in six years Sunday, outgunning
fellow former world number three Marin Cilic in straight sets.
The 32nd seed proved too powerful for the unseeded Croat, winning 6-4, 6-3,
7-5 with Cilic hampered by a back problem after playing two gruelling five-
setters en route to the fourth round.
Raonic’s reward is a last-eight clash with either seven-time winner and
defending champion Novak Djokovic or feisty Argentinian Diego Schwartzman.
