PARIS – Milos Raonic has cruised into the third round of the French Open with a 6-1, 7-6 (0), 6-1 win over Adrian Mannarino.

Raonic fired seven aces past his French opponent and converted on four of his seven break-point opportunities.

The hard-serving Canadian did commit 17 unforced errors, but he was in form compared to the unsteady Mannarino, who had 30.

Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., has yet to drop a set at Roland Garros. He defeated Janko Tipsarevic 6-3, 6-2, 706 (5) in the first round.

The eighth-seeded Raonic will face Slovakia’s Andrej Martin in the third round.
