Milos Raonic easily advanced to the Rogers Cup quarter-finals in front of his home fans, routing American qualifier Jared Donaldson 6-2, 6-3 on Thursday night.

Top-seed Novak Djokovic of Serbia also advanced, beating Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic 6-2, 6-4 in the late match.

The fourth-seed Raonic, the Montenegro-born player who moved to the Toronto area when he was three years old, set up a match Friday against 10th-seeded Gael Monfils of France.
