Milos Raonic defeats Igor Andreev at Estoril Open – Portugal
The Match
Milos Raonic (CAN) defeated Igor Andreev (RUS) this afternoon in straight sets. The stats for the match were similar for both players except for one important one: Raonic saved 8 of 8 break points and Andreev was only able to save 1 of 3. Milos has shown again that he's able to pull it off under pressure when it counts.

I have seen the match by live streaming (livescorehunter.com) and it has been a good match that Milos has greatly won.

I did not get to see the match, only the last game… during which Milos had to save two break points if I remember. The numbers that I had to go by for the match were slightly in Milos’ favour, but they can be misleading…
Was the victory more convincing than the match statistics suggest?
