hockeyville88 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Way to go Milos! Huge win against a top 4 opponent and the fact that it was Murray just makes me so happy. Not sure why but I can't stand the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiznak Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Milos has really improved on his rallies, he's not always going for the big winners anymore which usually goes into the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dKs89 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 When is his match against Ferrer? Not sure, I did a time converter, and I think it's around 4:30 am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g_bassi13 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Raonic bows out in the semis. But he had a good run. It's nice to see that he can indeed compete on clay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donky Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Just caught the replay. Raonic played very well, but did not get his first serve in as consistently as was required...and Ferrer played fantastic tennis. Seeing how ecstatic Ferrer was at defeating Milos and making the final shows just how much respect Milos is gathering on tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donky Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Just looking at the draw for the Madrid ATP1000. Not a good one for Milos. He gets David Nalbandian in the 1st round....and if he gets by the former world #3 next up will be Federer.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh captain my captain Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) French Open gets going in 2 weeks, hopefully Rafa can get by Nole in the Final if they meet to get a little confidence against him for the rest of the year. I really hope that Rafa will one day be able to pass Fed in majors won, but considering that Fed may win 1 or 2 more, and just how well Novak has been playing the last 2 years, I'm not sure it will be possible for Rafa. And its been bugging me for awhile, but did Rafa's gold medal in the 2008 Olympics push him into the #1 ranking, or did he have to come back and win the next tournament as well? Im not sure if that information is readily available, but it would be nice to know. Edited May 6, 2012 by oh captain my captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be surprised if he catches Fed, Nadal's style of play is incredibly hard on the body, he already has struggled with knee problems, Federer is such an easy, graceful mover he could still be a top contender for several more years. Edit: I don't think the Olympics counts in the rankings. Edited May 6, 2012 by Persona Non Grata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I don't think the Olympics counts in the rankings. I agree, Rafa catching Fed is very unlikely. And also, the Olympics do count for the rankings. It's just a small amount of points you get.

oh captain my captain Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Fed and Raonic on right now on sportsnet one. Raonic up a set. Also, does Raonic get to play in the Olympics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g_bassi13 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I can't believe he started the game one set up. I'm watching it, but I'm having a hard time believing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh captain my captain Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Milos had Fed on the ropes, couldn't convert his break point. Fed comes right back and breaks Raonic to win the set. This 3rd set should be fantastic. Hopefully Raonic can keep his composure and pull through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyville88 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I can't get over how much Raonic has improved from last season Couple of missed break opportunities but still a very good match from him He's held serve with a lot more ease than Fed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh captain my captain Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) What a match. Shame that Raonic couldn't pull it out, but he had his opportunites. I still feel that he goes too big, too early and needs to work the points a little more, especially when he's got an opportunity to break. That's 2 times in a row that Milos has pushed Federer to the brink, and I think its only a matter of time before he gets over the hump.

Milos strength is his ability to finish rallies early with aggression. The longer the rallies go the less likely he is to win the point. Aggresive early is the better strategy for him. And that match was terrific. 1/8 in the break points vs 1/2 for Federer is the stat of the match. Then he made a couple of errors when the tension rose in the tiebreak.
