Raonic through to Wimbledon quarter-finals with five-set win over Zverev
LONDON — Canada’s Milos Raonic is through to the Wimbledon quarter-finals after posting a 4-6, 7-5, 4-6, 7-5, 6-1 win over Germany’s Alexander Zverev on Monday.
Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., struggled against the 10th seeded German early on and looked to be in trouble after falling behind two sets to one.
But a break to win the fourth set seemed to invigorate the sixth-seeded Canadian, who steamrolled to victory with a dominant fifth set.
He served to love in the deciding game, converting his first match point with his 23rd ace.
