Raonic downs Federer at Paris Masters (Yahoo Sports)

Milos Raonic secured his maiden win over Roger Federer to book his place in the semifinals of the Paris Masters on Friday. The seventh-seeded Raonic, who had never beaten Federer in six previous meetings, hit 21 aces and lost only 15 points on his serve to complete a 7-6 (5), 7-5 win, keeping alive his chances of qualifying for the ATP Finals in London. Raonic ended Federer’s 14-match winning streak but the Swiss has still a chance to overtake top-ranked Novak Djokovic in the race for the year-end No. 1 spot. Earlier, Tomas Berdych sealed his spot at the ATP finals, where he will be playing for the fifth straight year, after rallying to beat Kevin Anderson.
