cs2016 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I can't get over how much Del Potro looks like Keith Ballard. I thought he looked a bit like Bertuzzi. Istomin played a great match yesterday, it's just too bad he was playing Djokovic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckamo Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 So Pospisil onto the semis, Davydenko had to withdraw, looked like breathing issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dKs89 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 So Milos is literally given a break, with 4 double faults by Gulbis, and then just gives the break right back to love. And now everything from Milos is an unforced error. How typical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadal should get threw easily but looking forward to the Djokovic game versus Gasquet, gotta love Gasquets backhand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dKs89 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 All quiet now that he pulled it off i see. You say that as if I dislike Raonic..I do not, however. I enjoy watching him play, he is a favourite player of mine. Giving a break back to love, in a third set, after getting a break gifted to you is just horrible. And the reason I posted that, is because that seems to happen to Milos all the time..I am happy and relieved he got through, as it sets up two dream semi-finals tomorrow.

He's gone through very much a rough patch. Stagnated, new coach etc. But I see today's events as a positive. After giving a game back, he battled and got the victory - this after an awful second set. Sorry, wasnt trying to come at you. I'm sure were both in the same boat: would love to see Raonic battle with the Tongas etc for now, and eventually move into top 4 contention. I think today was a positive move forward. His past makes me wait and see - i really hope there isn't a let down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not A Fruit Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Wow, looks like Pospisil and Raonic are going into a 3rd set Sad that I can't watch Nadal and Novak, it's on at like 3 AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me wants Raonic just cause I think he has a better shot to win. Having said that, with the crowd behind him, Pospisil could surprise.

Having said that, with the crowd behind him, Pospisil could surprise. Exactly! I'm going for Raonic over Pospisil by an inch because I want to see a Canadian at least put up a fight against Nadal/Djokovic. What a great day to go to watch though, seeing two Canadians battle it out and obviously a Nadal/Djokovic match will be very entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absent Canuck Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Great Match , I hope Milos can pull off the upset in the final !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van_City123 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 What a final thats going to be tomorrow. Rafa Nadal is my favourite tennis player. But going against Milos tomorrow, I dont know who to pick?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckClown Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 This is certainly Raonic's best shot at breaking through: home crowd vs Nadal. Nadal looked very good though. milos's serve needs to be dynamite and Nadal needs to hiccup a couple time. It can happen - buy we need to see Raonic's best tmr.

Where's Wellwood Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Feel bad for Pospisil as I think he deserved to win this match with the number of points he won, but I do believe Raonic has a much better shot at beating Nadal than Pospisil.

-DLC- Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Well a little momentum swing there, but it was quickly erased. C'mon Milos, let's give this a go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyville88 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Am I the only one who prefers Pospisil over Raonic? I feel that he has a more complete game. Yeah he has a big serve like Raonic does, but he's more mobile, has a wider array of strokes he can hit, and makes far fewer unforced errors. And Pospisil is more fun to watch. Shows some emotion, works the crowd, interacts with others a bit more... I predict bigger things for Pospisil than Raonic in the figure. Just my opinion though.
