luongo.is.god Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Incredible match. Hopefully someone uploads those match highlights because those were some unbelievable, world-class points. Milos pushed him to the brink and came sooo close, just couldn't convert enough break opportunities in the end. That 1st set was complete and utter domination by Raonic though. He made Federer look like Kournikova out there! He's going to be so dangerous in the hard-court (and grass) tourneys this year. Just stay healthy and you'll be cleaning up in no time! Good luck Milos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyville88 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Had Federer lost it would have been interesting to see if he blamed it on the blue clay courts All the other high seeds have been bashing it all tournament long and I'm sure Fed would have done the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyville88 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Sounds like Nadal is spazzing over the blue clay after his loss Tennis players sound super high maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luongo.is.god Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) Tennis players sound super high maintenance. I'd say so: This was a pretty incredible highlight too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNiUxtYtt9k Edited May 10, 2012 by luongo.is.god Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyville88 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Dinara Safina was the worst. More trouble than talent. Djokovic beaten by Tipsarevic. The blue clay isn't working for top seeds. Coincidence though that both Nadal and Djokovic lost to fellow countrymen? Maybe they're throwing the match on purpose so that the tournament switches back to red clay but they're making sure that they allow a fellow spaniard or Serb advance Just my theory.

No I don't think Tennis players throw matches. Just from Djokovic losing to Mugsarevic he'll lose 820 points in the rankings. The reason why both Nadal and Djokovic lost is, they can't handle how fast the courts are, and Nadal choked. If Federer wins this tournament, which now he should easily, he'll be back at #2 in the rankings. And with Djokovic losing 820 points, he's being given a great opportunity to get back to the #1 ranking, which he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donky Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Draw for Rome ATP1000 is out. Milos gets another crappy draw with 24th ranked Florian Mayer in the 1st round and than Nadal in the 2nd....and even if he miraculously upset Nadal he would get Lopez in the 3rd round. While its great to see him up against the Big 3, it sucks that he is getting them so early. He needs points now so he gets to 16 seed going into Paris...but probably won't happen now with another likely early exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donky Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 And that is that. Milos loses in the 1st round to Mayer...Only 57% 1st serve. Looks like he played quite poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznak Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 And that is that. Milos loses in the 1st round to Mayer...Only 57% 1st serve. Looks like he played quite poorly. Still, he jumped up 2 spots to 21, even with the loss in the first round in Rome, he probably won't move down that far. Since he didn't lose any points from last year.

Since he didn't lose any points from last year. Raonic isn't even defending points anymore. It's all from up here on out. All he needs is a decent draw once in awhile and he'll get good results.

hockeyville88 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Once Raonic grows in to his tall frame he'll learn to take advantage of his height and use it to get a leg up on opponents. Right now it almost looks like he trips over his own feet or gets crossed up by his own legs when he runs lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh captain my captain Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Lets go Rafa and Milos! Novak is going for the "Djokovic slam." He's won the last 3 majors and is looking to do what Rafa couldn't last year and control all four majors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
