The World No.14 is coming to the 3rd round after beating Corentin Moutet in 4 sets. After a shaky start in the 1st set, the Canadian won 6-7, 6-1. 6-1, 6-4.

The Hungarian is coming to the third round after a thriller against the veteran and former Australian Open champion, Stan Wawrinka. He held his nerves to win the match in 5 sets. The scoreline was 7-5, 6-1, 4-6, 2-6, 7-6. He lost to the maestro, Roger Federer in the fourth round in the last year’s Australian Open and therefore will be hoping to put on a good show against Raonic.

The former No.3 won both these encounters in straight sets. Fucsovics would be hoping to improve the head to head record while Raonic will look to extend his lead against the World No.55.
