That was quick (and horrible)!
Milos Raonic was the seed no.2 in St. Petersburg to immediately crash out in the opener. After winning the first set against Mikhail Youzhny, the Canadian was in full control in the second set when he had the chance to serve out the match twice when he was 5-4 and 6-5 up. Eventually, Milos failed on both occasions to also waste a sizeable 5-1 lead in the breaker. Finally, it was Youzhny to win the second set and then the match 2-6 7-6 (6) 6-4.

-serves for it at 5-4 2nd set
-serves for it at 6-5 2nd set
-up 5-1 in 2nd set tiebreak
