Roger Federer made light work of Milos Raonic in his opening match of the ATP World Tour Finals in London with a straight sets victory (6-1, 7-6) over the Canadian. The world No 2, who lost his long-standing unbeaten record against Raonic in a 7-6, 7-5 defeat at last month's Paris Masters, produced a near faultless display in the first set as he cruised into a one-set lead. The Swiss broke Raonic on two occasions during the opening set, with the 23-year-old unable to deal with anything the seven-times Wimbledon champion put before him.
