BANGKOK - Canadian Milos Raonic used his thumping serve to ace his way to victory over top seed Tomas Berdych Sunday, with a 7-6 (7/4), 6-3 win at the Thailand Open. Third seed Raonic took full advantage of his big serve to beat his Czech opponent, firing 18 aces. After winning the first set in a tiebreaker, the Canadian tightened his grip in the second to earn the fifth title of his career, converting his first match point with a down-the-line winner after 77 minutes. His second title of the season, after San Jose in February, will serve him well in the points chase to a possible place in the eight-man ATP World Tour Finals in London in November. “Of course, it feel great to win the title,” said Raonic. “The first set was about finding rhythm. Once I did I was solid after that.” –AFP
