"Good match today," the Canadian tweeted after the match. "Now it's time for the nap I have been day-dreaming about."

Raonic, who says he doesn't function without 90 minutes of afternoon shut-eye every day, extended his stay in Paris with a 6-4, 7-5, 6-2 win over Ottawa-born American Jesse Levine to move on to the third round.
