Milos Raonic coasts into third round at Flushing Meadows

Milos Raonic has beaten Pablo Andujar in straight sets to book his place in the third round of the US Open at Flushing Meadows.

The Canadian blazed 53 winners on his way to sealing victory in just over two hours on the Grandstand court, which sets up a clash with Spain's Feliciano Lopez for a place in the fourth round.

After taking the first set 6-1, the 10th seed refused to show mercy and won the second 6-2 with the Spaniard struggling to cope with the power coming from the other end of the court.

Raonic had four match points on Andujar's serve at 5-3, but he saw each one go begging. However, the Canadian still went on to serve out the set 6-4.
