Milos Raonic has taken under an hour and a half to reach the second round of the Australian Open.

The 13th seed made light work of Frenchman Lucas Pouille, winning 6-1, 6-4, 6-4.

Raonic's big serve was typically troubling, winning 89 percent of points on first serve. The Canadian also blasted 39 winners to Pouille's 16.

The 25-year-old will face either Tommy Robredo or Malek Jaziri in the second round.
