It was a lopsided match, for the first two sets, in which Daniel won five games. The 21-year-old Japanese found a chance in the third set, winning three straight games to take a 6-5 lead. Raonic found his rhythm back in time, hitting three aces in his following service game to force the set into tie-breaker.
Raonic showed enough intensity in the tiebreaker, winning it 7-1. Raonic will next meet Peter Gojowczyk in the second round..
