Australian Open 2019: Alexander Zverev loses to Milos Raonic in fouth round

World number four Alexander Zverev was comprehensively beaten by Milos Raonic in the fourth round of the Australian Open.

The German, widely seen as a top contender for the title after his stunning ATP Finals win in November, lost 6-1 6-1 7-6 (7-5).

While Zverev destroyed one racquet in a spectacular meltdown in the second set, Raonic remained calm to win.

The 16th seed will face Croatia's Borna Coric or Frenchman Lucas Pouille next.
