PARIS (Reuters) - Roger Federer's hopes of knocking Novak Djokovic off the top of the ATP world rankings before the end of the year took a hit when he lost to big-serving Canadian Milos Raonic in the Paris Masters quarter-finals on Friday.

The Swiss second seed was beaten 7-6(5) 7-5 and Djokovic later saw off Andy Murray 7-5 6-2 to advance to the semi-finals of a tournament he won last year.
