LONDON (Reuters) - Eighth seed Milos Raonic woke from a nap to bludgeon his way into the last 16 at Wimbledon, losing just nine points on serve in a 7-6 (2) 7-6 (4) 6-2 victory over unseeded Pole Lukasz Kubot on Saturday.

The heavy-hitting Canadian thundered down 30 aces and has yet to be broken in his three matches, joining title holder Andy Murray and seven-times champion Roger Federer as the only seeded players still to drop a set.
