<p> Big-serving Canadian Milos Raonic stunned an out-of-sorts Roger Federer to win the Brisbane International 6-4, 6-4 today.</p>.<p>Raonic, 25, broke the 17-time Grand Slam champion once in each set to win the final, only his second win over Federer in 11 meetings.<br /><br />Federer, who had been improving every round after starting the tournament with a slight illness, was no match for Raonic, who served powerfully and came to the net at every opportunity.<br /><br />The win gave Raonic his eighth title on the ATP tour and reversed the result of last year's final, won by 34-year-old Federer in three tight sets.<br /><br />Federer was off his game throughout, serving at only 55 percent and struggling to make any impression on the big- hitting Canadian.<br /><br />The top seed had to save two break points in the fifth game of the first set and then faced another two in the ninth.<br /><br />He saved the first but put a forehand into the net on the second to go behind 4-5. Raonic had no trouble serving for the set, wrapping up the opener in 41 minutes.<br /><br />Raonic took a medical time-out at 2-1 in the second set to have treatment on his right leg. When he returned he served four double faults to give Federer his first break point of the match.<br /><br />But Federer was unable to take advantage and games remained on serve until the seventh game, when Federer let a 30-0 lead slip to give Raomic a break point, then netted a backhand to give the Canadian the vital break.<br /><br />Raonic, who only faced the one break point in the match, never looked like faltering and claimed the title when a Federer backhand sailed long.</p>
