Raonic into Open last eight as Zverev self-destructs
Milos Raonic kept his cool to reach the quarter-finals Monday as young Alexander Zverev went into meltdown and crashed out of the Australian Open.
The fourth seed erupted in frustration and fury during the second set of a 6-1, 6-1, 7-6 (7/5) drubbing by the Canadian 16th seed, hammering his racquet into the ground eight times to leave it a mangled mess.
Raonic moves on to face Borna Coric or Lucas Pouille for a place in the semi-finals after world number four Zverev failed to make the last eight of a Slam for the 14th time in 15 attempts.
