Indian Wells - Milos Raonic, who already has one ATP title in 2016, advanced into the fourth round at Indian Wells on Monday when Australian Bernard Tomic retired with a wrist injury.
Raonic is trying to improve on his best performance in Indian Wells when he reached the semi-finals last year where he lost to Swiss star Roger Federer.
The 25-year-old Canadian was up 3-0 in the second set in the third round tie, after cruising through the first at 6-2, when Tomic called it quits.
World No. 14 Raonic blasted nine aces and won 91 percent of his first serve points in 36 minutes on the court. It took him just 25 minutes to win the first set.
His quarter-final win over 14-time Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal last year at Indian Wells was voted one of the best matches of 2015.
Raonic claimed his eighth career singles title by winning in Brisbane earlier this year.
In women's action Monday, Czech Karolina Plishkova subdued former world No. 1 Ana Ivanovic 6-2, 6-0.
Ivanovic was making her 11th appearance in Indian Wells, winning the title in 2008.
In other early matches, Slovakia's Magdalena Rybarikova beat seventh seeded Belinda Bencic 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, and Johanna Konta defeated Denisa Allertova 6-4, 6-1.
