LONDON (Reuters) - Last year's Wimbledon runner-up Milos Raonic boomed down the fastest serve of this year's tournament so far at 141 mph as the Canadian beat Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff 7-6(5) 6-2 7-6(4) in the first round on Tuesday. "Just not having that constant back-to-back match play, going through those situations many times over, I think that's where it sort of showed," Raonic told reporters. He stepped on the gas in the second set and looked to be cruising into the second round when be broke Struff in his opening service game of the third set. He finally broke into a smile when Struff's challenge to a backhand service return that was called wide was overruled by Hawkeye to give Raonic the match. Raonic, 26, plays Mikhail Youzhny of Russia in round two.
