With serves that at one point clocked in at 141 mph, Raonic, the No. 13 seed, comfortably defeated unseeded Mackenzie McDonald in four sets, 6-3, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-2 and is now heading for his fourth Wimbledon quarter-final.

It was the 100th career grand slam match for Raonic, who’s had a challenging year health wise.

Wednesday he faces No. 9 seed John Isner in a match that will be a big draw for Canadian tennis fans.
