LONDON — Canada's Milos Raonic moved into the men's third round at Wimbledon with a 7-5 (5), 6-4, 6-2 win over Italy's Andreas Seppi on Thursday.
The sixth seed from Thornhill, Ont., won a dogfight with Seppi in the first set before taking control of the match, taking his first match point opportunity with an ace.
Raonic, whose serve has been booming at the All England Club, fired 25 aces to Seppi's two. Raonic had 27 aces in his first-round win over Spain's Pablo Carreno Busta.
The Canadian, who has yet to drop a set at Wimbledon, will next face 27th-seeded American Jack Sock in the third round. Raonic has won seven straight matches against Sock, including a third-round victory at the Miami Open earlier this year.
Later Thursday, Montreal's Eugenie Bouchard faced 16th-seeded Briton Johanna Kolta at Centre Court in women's second-round action.
