- 8 years ago
A battle between two of the hottest players in tennis didn't disappoint at the Australian Open and it was a Canadian who goes by the nickname of "Missile" that tamed the "Stanimal."
Milos Raonic moved into the quarterfinals in Melbourne by upsetting 2014 champion Stan Wawrinka 6-4 6-3 5-7 4-6 6-3 in a three hour, 45-minute thriller that followed Novak Djokovic's dramatic five-set victory over Gilles Simon a day earlier.
Raonic was tipped for big things several years ago, part of the next generation along with the likes of Kei Nishikori that seemingly had the potential to eventually challenge the "Big Four."
