Jerry Lai-USA TODAY Sports
NEW YORK - Fifth-seeded Milos Raonic advanced to the second round at the U.S. Open with a straight-set win.
The Wimbledon runner-up beat 86th-ranked Dustin Brown 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 on Monday. Raonic had 41 winners.
The U.S. Open is the only major at which the Canadian has yet to make at least the quarterfinals.
Brown upset Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon in the second round last year.
