Roger Federer cruises into Australian Open quarter final with straight sets win over Milos Raonic Federer, seeking a fifth Melbourne title, took a while to get to grips with his big-serving opponent before running out a convincing 6-4, 7-6 (7/4), 6-2 winner in one hour and 54 minutes. The first nine games of today's match went with serve, but 13th seed Raonic was the first to blink and a double fault gifted Federer a set point which he gratefully accepted as Raonic netted a backhand volley. Federer had amazingly made just one unforced error throughout the set and although much is often made of Raonic's powerful serve, the 31-year-old was more than holding his own in that department too. Just nine points were lost on serve in the second set - Federer dropping only two - and a tiebreak was required to decide the outcome. Raonic produced aces with his first three serves, but Federer was simply waiting patiently for his opportunity and seized it with a backhand winner down the line as Raonic came into the net. An ace of his own gave Federer three set points and he took the second with a forehand winner. That seemed to break Raonic's spirit and Federer broke serve twice early in the third set on his way to a convincing victory. Tsonga was too strong for his friend Gasquet. The ninth seed hit back from losing the opening set but was powerless to prevent Tsonga from running away with it by breaking early in the third and fourth to complete a 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 win.
