		</div><p>Stan Wawrinka admits he is struggling with illness after the Swiss beat Lukas Rosol in the Australian Open third round.</p>
<p>Wawrinka, seeded fourth in Melbourne, could play Andy Murray in the semi-finals and he took one step closer by beating world number 51 Rosol 6-2 6-3 7-6 (7/3).</p>
<p>The French Open champion, however, was noticeably croaky in his post-match interview and confirmed he has been under the weather this week.</p>
<p>“Last few days I couldn’t really talk. I’ve been OK, maybe too many cigars,” Wawrinka said, smiling.<br />
“I just had a little bit cold. I’m feeling better. As long as I’m moving well and feeling good on the court that’s most important.</p>
<p>“I don’t really need my voice, if I use my voice I talk too much s*** anyway.”<br />
Wawrinka showed few signs he was suffering on court as he eased past Rosol in just one hour and 55 minutes.</p>
<p>He now faces a fourth-round match-up against big serving Canadian Milos Raonic, who has made a strong start to the year after beating Roger Federer in the final of the Brisbane International earlier this month.<br />
Wawrinka, however, has never lost to the world number 14 in four previous meetings.</p>
<p>“He’s a tough player, for sure,” Wawrinka said.<br />
“I’ve never lost, but always been some tough matches. He’s been playing really good since the beginning of the year, winning the first title in Brisbane against Roger in the final.</p>
<p>“I still think it depends a lot on my game, on what I’m going to do, on where I’m going to be on the court, the way I’m going to serve.</p>
<p>“In general, I always find some solution to break his serve, even (if it) is really tough.”<br />
Raonic also enjoyed a comfortable passage into the last 16 as he sailed past Serbia’s Viktor Troicki 6-2 6-3 6-4.</p>
<p>After the match, Raonic dedicated his win to the victims of a shooting at a school in Saskatchewan, Canada on Friday, which left four people dead and several more injured.</p>
<p>“It was a difficult day back home,” Raonic said. “There was a shooting in a high school in a small town. I give my thoughts to that community, the families, the students and the school affected.</p>
<p>“We wish you all the best. This win was for that community and a speedy recovery. All of Canada and the world is behind you.”</p>
<p>Spain’s David Ferrer will play American John Isner in the fourth round.<br />
Ferrer beat another American Steve Johnson 6-1 6-4 6-4 while Isner overcame Spain’s Feliciano Lopez 6-7 (8/10) 7-6 (7/5) 6-2 6-4.</p>
