Milos Raonic made quick work of Marin Cilic in the fourth round of the 2020 Australian Open, earning a 6-4, 6-3, 7-5 victory.
The lone Canadian to advance past the opening round of the singles draws, Raonic was dominant throughout the first week of competition. Against Cilic, the big-serving 29-year-old smashed 35 aces and won 80 percent of his first serves, giving his opponent little chance to build momentum.

It was fourth consecutive three-set victory for Raonic in Melbourne, and the former world No. 3 has yet to have his serve broken in the tournament. His quarterfinal run is a bit surprising, as he dealt with injuries in recent months, explaining why he nearly entered the Australian Open unseeded, before a couple of withdrawls allowed him to sneak in as the No. 32 seed.
In the quarterfinals, Raonic will face either Diego Schwartzman or seven-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic.
