  1. He wasn't a world beater tonight but he did some good things too. He was also more noticeable than Bo and Nik but that isn't saying much tonight. Hopefully we get another good look later this week. I did like his hustle when he drew the hooking call later on and didn't see the lack of speed that has been talked about recently.

  2. Wow, Milos really blew it today. 1st round exit in the Valencia ATP 500 event. Worst part is that he was the only seed left in his half of the draw. Big opportunity blown. Tsonga retired, Tipsarevic retired and Isner had lost in the 2nd round. Milos should have at least gone to the final.

  3. I watched the final. Milos was not nearly as sharp and Kei was terrific. Losing the 1st set tiebreak was a killer. 6-0 in the 3rd was Kei getting adrenilin rush as Milos tired.

  4. Milos saves another couple of match points tonight enroute to upsetting Andy Murray! He played very, very well tonight. Bonafide Top 10 player in the world when he plays like tonight. Some fantastic tennis. If he pulls it together again in the final he could move up to #12.

  5. Raonic played really well tonight against #9 Tipsarevic. He faced off a third set tiebreak match point and served out the match with an Ace. Had 8 Break Point opps and converted 2 compared to Tipsarevic who had ZERO opportunities to break.

    An infinitely better outing to the listless sputter he pulled in Bangkok.

    On to the Semis vs Murray again.

  6. So India , Australia, South Africa and Pakistan topped the groups and they are clubbed togather for Super 8 - Can someone explain why?

    From the 2012 Twenty20 Wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_ICC_World_Twenty20

    The seedings used are those allocated at the start of the tournament and are not affected by group stage results, with the exception that if a non-seeded team knocks out a seeded team, the non-seeded team inherits the seeding of the knocked-out team.[8]
  7. Wow, was that a boring couple of matches. Bottom line is Canada is going to win this tie. The college kid Raonic faced was very cool under the circumstances and served extremely well. But his return of serve was poor and he couldn`t handle anything Milos threw at him. Pospisil didn`t play his best either and still beat Van de Merwe. Yeah gotta feel for the South Africans. Their program is in a shambles.

  8. And with that, Nadal drops to #4 in the world.

    Fed

    Joker

    Andy

    Rafa

    Oops...strange how the rankings work sometimes...Rafa remains at #3.

    Raonic to #14!

    EDIT:NM! I was right the first time. Andy to #3 and Milos to #15.

  9. Very good draw for Milos. Being ranked in the top 16 pays dividends. Worst case scenario if he goes all the way

    1st Giraldo

    2nd Mathieu

    3rd Granollers

    4th Murray

    QF Tsonga
