LONDON (Reuters) - Milos Raonic had to make do without his grasscourt guru John McEnroe but managed just fine as he overpowered Italy's Andreas Seppi 7-6(5) 6-4 6-2 to reach the Wimbledon third round on Thursday.

The Canadian sixth seed equalled the fastest serve seen at Wimbledon this year, firing down one 142mph rocket to match the delivery served by Australian Sam Groth in round one.
