Milos Raonic eager to stick to gameplan at Australian Open

Milos Raonic insist that he can not change his game to cope with the threat of playing top seeds at the Australian Open.

Milos Raonic has claimed that he must continue to focus on his own game if he is to achieve success in the second week of the Australian Open.

The Canadian booked his place in the fourth round with a comfortable victory over Benjamin Becker, and he is desperate to not allow the threat of playing top seeds force him into a change of gameplan.

"Yeah, well, I got to focus on myself first thing," the eighth seed told reporters. "Obviously I got to make adjustments for my opponents and so forth, but I got to get myself in order, my game, my mentality in order. Without that I won't give myself a chance.

"I think last year I made my first quarter-final and followed it up with my first semi-final. I have a better understanding of how to deal with things, a better understanding of how to play second weeks. To be honest, the tournament really does start the second week of the slams. It's time to sort of buckle down."

Raonic will meet Feliciano Lopez in the fourth round as he looks to reach the last eight in Melbourne for the first time.
