LONDON -- Milos Raonic capped an impressive start by Canadian players at Wimbledon with a straight-sets victory over Argentinas Carlos Berlocq on Tuesday at the All-England Club. Raonic, the No. 17 seed from Thornhill, Ont., needed less than two hours to complete the 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 win to become the fourth Canadian to reach the second round at the Grand Slam event this week. It has been 25 years since four Canadians won first-round singles matches at the same major. Sebastien Lareau, Daniel Nestor, Sonya Jeyaseelan and Jana Nejedly last accomplished the feat at the Australian Open in 1988. Raonic, who has struggled of late to get his grass-court game in form, said he was happy with the way he played Tuesday. "My game feels a lot better than last week," Raonic said. "We worked on a lot of things. Also, this is a grand slam and you bite down harder." The 22-year-old had 19 aces and just 18 unforced errors in the match. "I kept the pressure on (Berlocq) the whole time," Raonic said. "Im feeling much more comfortable on grass. Ive had moments in the past when I doubted myself, but Im playing with more peace and confidence." Raonics next opponent will be Igor Sijsling of the Netherlands, who beat American Alex Kuznetsov 6-3, 6-4, 6-4.

Ottawas Jesse Levine also won his opening match Tuesday, a day after Vancouvers Vasek Pospisil and Montreals Eugenie Bouchard posted victories. Levine defeated Guido Pella of Argentina 6-4, 6-2, 4-6, 3-6, 4-3. Pella had to be helped off the court midway through the fifth set with an apparent hamstring injury. The match lasted nearly three hours as the 112th-ranked Levine advanced to the second round for the second straight year. Pella appeared to slip on the grass and received medical treatment while lying on the baseline. He shook Levines hand before being taken away on a stretcher. Levine said he was able to refocus after dropping the third and fourth sets. "My energy went down and I got away from my game plan," Levine said. "I wasnt hurting him any more with my shots. He is good on clay and slow surfaces so I wanted to force him to speed up. "In the first and second sets I took it to him, I didnt want to get into a long battle. I finally got back to doing what I had been doing. Im glad to be into the second round." Levine had 19 aces and converted five of eight service breaks. He will face Juan Martin Del Potro in the second round. The 25-year-old Canadian says hell have to sharpen his game against the eighth-seeded Argentine. "Against Del Potro I really have to hit the ball," Levine said. "I cant get away with what I did today. Hes a big strong guy, so I hope to use my speed to move him around the court. "Im going to try and not let him set up on too many balls, but thats easier said than done." Nestor, from Toronto, and Robert Lindstedt of Sweden are the sixth-seeded mens doubles team. They will open against Mikhail Elgin of Russia and Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan.Tyler Higbee Rams Jersey .

The way they won left the Illini (1-2) groping for answers.Illinois rushed for a paltry 3 yards, while giving up 287 yards on the ground and 487 total. The Illini trailed 24-7 at halftime to a team they scheduled as a likely win, and one the University of Illinois paid $1.2 million to make the trip to Champaign.I dont know was the go-to line for many players as they tried to explain what went wrong.The one thing the Illini cant do as they open the Big Ten season Oct. 1 at No. 20 Nebraska is dwell on the loss to the Broncos, Illinois coach Lovie Smith said.You have to have a short memory, he said. What you cant do is let Western Michigan beat you twice.A lot went wrong against the Broncos. Tackling was a problem. Both the offensive and defensive lines were dominated at times. And Smiith said his quarterback, Wes Lunt, did not throw the ball down field when he could and should have.ddddddddddddSmith said this weeks practices would be more like training camp than the typical in-season practice routine, focused on fundamentals.Just three games into the season, Lunt and other players are talking about the need to do something like soul searching before they begin a run of conference games that will start with the Cornhuskers and include both No. 4 Michigan and No. 8 Michigan State over six weeks.I think it might be a good thing with the bye. We can kind of look each other in the eyes this next week and see what we need to get better on and really focus on ourselves, Lunt said. Because I think thats the problem, ourselves more than anybody else.Added tight end Ainslee Johnson, Weve just got to communicate better as an offense and just not look to point the finger at each other.
