Raonic takes down Tsitsipas in straight sets in the day of upsets at Melbourne

Milos Raonic hasn't had a great slam run in quite a while and his Australian Open run so far has been pretty good. In the 2nd round, he won against Christian Garin which set up a 3rd round matchup against Tsitsipas. The greek tennis player had an easy-going in round 2 as his opponent retired before the match.

That played a part in the first set as Stefanos Tsitsipas came out a bit sluggish. He was still playing good but his opponent was simply sharper and it was evident. His service games were longer and took more effort. That culminated in the 11th game when the Canadian broke his serve and went on to cruise to a 7-5 1st set victory.

The 2nd set didn't bring anything better from the greek as he immediately surrendered his serve to his opponent in the 1st game. Raonic maintained his composure and went on to win every single of his service games. His focus was entirely on that as he didn't even try much on his opponent' serve. It proved as a good strategy as he won it 6-4.

The 3rd set started off with each player winning their service games. Again, it was noticeable that Raonic was winning games easier as the Greek struggled to find any holes in his game, particularly on the Canadian's serve. The set continued its course and we ended up in the tie-break. In it, it was all Raonic and he cruised to convincing 7-2 victory.

Sensational stuff from the Canadian and one must wonder where will such levels of play take him?
