Authentic Noah Hanifin Jersey . The match,
billed as a "next-gen" encounter between two of the sports rising stars, lasted
two and a half hours. The loss kept Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., from reaching
a third fourth-round spot in Melbourne over the past four years. Raonic, seeded
11th, saved four match points in a dramatic fourth-set tiebreaker, raining down
a total of 21 aces in his losing effort which included 50 winners, 39 unforced
errors and one break of serve in his favour. The victory was the second in a row
for the 22nd-ranked Dimitrov, who beat Raonic in Jan., 2013 in Brisbane. The
Canadian won their first match in Stockholm three years ago. Raonic started out
strong in the first set of the highly anticipated match-up, but failed to
convert on a pair of break-point chances in the third game, with Dimitrov saving
a second opportunity with an ace. The Bulgarian got Raonic in trouble in the
eighth game, earning three break points and securing a break for 5-3. A game
later, after 27 minutes, Dimitrov had the set in hand. Raonic answered by
winning the second set thanks to a break in the fourth game, but Dimitrov took
the third 6-4 after breaking in the penultimate game. The contest tightened in
the fourth set, with Dimitrov standing two points from victory at 30-15 in the
tenth game. Raonic held his nerve to level at five games apiece. The set went
into a tiebreaker, with Raonic losing a 4-2 lead in the decider. Raonic then
went into survival mode as his opponent earned two match points -- the first a
serve out wide, and the second a tight Dimitrov backhand miss. Raonic saved
another match-winner with his 19th ace, then fired his 20th for a set point of
his own. Dimitrov saved it and eventually scored the upset after Raonic rescued
another two match points before going down from a forehand to the net on
Dimitrovs fifth chance. Eighth seeds Daniel Nestor from Toronto and Serbias
Nenad Zimonjic reached the mens doubles third round by defeating Croatians Marin
Dragania and Mate Pavic 7-5, 6-1. Eugenie Bouchard, Canadas last singles
survivor in the event, plays Australian Casey Dellacqua on Sunday night.
