Canada’s Raonic downed in straight sets by Ramos-Vinolas at French Open

Canadian star Milos Raonic faces a tough test in the French Open fourth round against competitive Spaniard Albert Ramos-Vinolas.

It was nip and tuck in the first two sets between Wawrinka and Troicki but the Serbian struggled with a hip problem in the latter stages and faded. Add to that the fact that he had lost his opening match at Roland Garros in each of the last four years and had only advanced past the first round at a major in five of 19 attempts, and one could certainly understand why the talented Spaniard entered Roland Garros not really convinced that he could win.

A recap of the action on Day 8 on Sunday at the French Open in Paris, including results, tweets, hot shots, photos and more. She ruled it in, pointing out that the ball had nicked the line.

The world number 55 cruised into the last eight with a 6-2 6-4 6-4 triumph in under two-and-a-half hours, having already produced his best-ever run in Paris.

Both players had early break points on a sparsely filled Philippe Chatrier centre court in a match of high quality. “It was four years in a row losing in the first round”.

Raonic beckoned over the chair umpire in the last game to inspect a shot that gave Ramos-Vinolas two match points. “I think I played a very good match, a very smart match”.

That match was another three-set battle, with Rogers again emerging victorious with a 6-0, 6-7 (3), 6-0 win. Serb fought well, looking nearly even with Wawrinka in the rallies, but his weaker second serve made the difference in the end, as Stan did well to dominate on the return in those occasions. She then served out comfortably for the set in 46 minutes.

But Muguruza kept the momentum.

The 2014 French Open quarter-finalist compiled a 43-22 edge in winners.

Rogers served as a ball girl at the Charleston WTA as a kid, for players including Jennifer Capriati and Venus Williams. The Romanian, seeded No. 25, is the third seeded player to fall to Shelby in her march to the quarterfinals. Troicki managed to stay in touch, winning the crucial points on his serve to keep the pressure on Stan (in 4 consecutive games it was 40-30 on Viktor ” s serve but he would always win the next point to close the game), who in the end finally got his chance on return. Gasquet won the first two sets against Nishikori, breaking him a total of five times.
