Where's Wellwood Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) Yikes. The "fall back" complicates things a bit because the time officially changes at 2am. I have to work tomorrow so probably will monitor twitter for updates and if, by some miracle, it looks like Milos is going to pull of the upset, I'll run downstairs and tune in! Sorry, I got mixed up with the time. It's actually starting around 6 am. Much more manageable. Edited November 2, 2014 by Where's Wellwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyville88 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Nice showing by Milos. The more he plays against elite opponents, the more he will learn how to beat them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakyWalton Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Nice showing by Milos. The more he plays against elite opponents, the more he will learn how to beat them He has been doing it for awhile now...he should be getting it pretty soon. Just not consistant enough..great game against Fed..comes up cold against Djok... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not A Fruit Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 The main factor was Djokovic's return of serve. Djokovic IMO has the best return of serve out of all the active ATP players. Raonic was able to beat Federer because Federer is forced to slice his return of serve now that he's older. That's why Roger has a harder time against big servers nowadays. Raonic is great at playing the sliced return as he often hits a deep ball CC or DTL. Djokovic's return of serve was on point today and it showed. Also, you could tell Djokovic was reading Raonic's shots well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking mama Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) I misunderstood the start time,..and slept through his match,..thanks for the recaps everyone,...not so sad that I didnt see this, if he wasnt able to match-up as well as hoped for today. Still young and still on the rise, experience for Milos now is very much a good thing. Head held up high,..and tell Dandy you'll be meeting him in another final again - soon!

It's really hard to get freebie service points against Djokovic, and Milos doesn't quite have the skill to rally his way out of trouble. Against most opponents, he is able to ace a serve or two to save break points. But his error count on ground strokes is still far too high, so once the ball is in play, there's basically a good chance that he'll go on to lose the point. He just needs to keep working at his game and learn from each experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyoNami Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Eh... Raonic looked shaky in the Feds game. Made a few too many mistakes. Hopefully he can bounce back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where's Wellwood Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Eh... Raonic looked shaky in the Feds game. Made a few too many mistakes. Hopefully he can bounce back! Raonic deserved the second set. He just didn't take advantage of Federer's mental lapses. Raonic plays Murray tomorrow and if today's form for the both of them is indicative of how they'll play tomorrow then Raonic will win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyville88 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I actually think Raonic has a shot against Murray. Murray hasn't looked fit or healthy at all this year. He has struggled in some really routine matches, so if Milos can keep him on the defensive and keep his own unforced error count low, he should be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raonic theoretically should have an easier time with Murray, but we'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
