Milos Raonic discusses his Australian Open first round win on Tuesday.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Milos Raonic, eighth seed (On his first round win)

"It was what I needed it to be, especially with how well I served, I probably should have stepped up and taken a few more risks on the return games. I felt at some points I got a little monotone with my game and I sort of stooped into a not-so-effective game plan especially on the return side. Other than that, it was what I needed it to be for a first round."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Milos Raonic, eighth seed (On playing well in Brisbane against Roger Federer and if that translates to starting well in Melbourne)

"Doesn't matter how I finish Brisbane. This tournament, every tournament, doesn't matter where, the previous one has nothing to do with it. I always start at zero. I have to find my way into it. That's something I've learned to accept that necessarily I wasn't the best at before, especially the first few years on the tour. But it's just about getting through and giving myself an opportunity to play better in the next match."
