Raonic didn't hit any double faults and he didn't face a single break point during the match. Those are very promising statistics. The second set was dominated by Milos, who was frighteningly stingy on when it came to losing points on his serve.<\/p>\n<p>It hasn't taken long for Raonic to get his at together on clay. But he will need all the momentum and confidence he can muster for his opponent in the third round: No.6 seed Nicolas Almagro. He is no slouch, especially on clay. We know that Milos defeated Almagro in the semis of Chennai earlier this year before going on to win the title, but the conditions were much more favourable to Raonic in that match. Hopefully Milos can keep this claymentum going.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sportsnet.ca\/tvschedule\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sportsnet ONE<\/a> will have coverage of the Round of 16 starting tomorrow at 11:30 AM EST (April 26).
