Both matches were played on clay. The most recent meeting was the Rome SF where Milos really pushed Novak. Can he challenge the Serb in best of 5? Who ya got?

Nole, but I would rather it be Milos!

Novak in 3, maybe four.

Nole in 3. He looks to be all business so far, not seeing too many lapses. His semi could be a much bigger test.

4 or 5 sets Djoker.. Raonic is playing just too good these days to just get steam rolled by Djoker as everyone seem to feel will happen

Milos gets a set. Nole in 4.

No way this goes 5 sets. I'll gladly eat my words if it happens, but this will be a straight set affair, 4 sets at most.

Their match in Rome was close. I am not sure if it will be routine for Novak. I think Milos can pull an upset if serves like he did in Rome.

We shall see my friend we shall see.

surely djokovic is going to walk this..apart from the oft waffled about close sf on clay in rome or wherever raonic is poor on clay. win/loss % in 50s

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Novak in 4 sets.

 

[tented]

Djokovic in straight sets.

 

[nehmeth]

Novak has an idea of what he'll be up against this time and should win in three. Crazy good serving from Raonic or a loss of focus from Novak and it will go more.

 

[Front242]

Novak in 3 most likely but possibly 4. I know Novak tends to throw in a random muck service game where he donates 3 pos to go down 0-40 and then 1 more point to lose serve, but Raonic often goes for too much playing opponents like Novak and his first serve % goes to poop and he serves more DFs than usual too as a result. I get the feeling Raonic's serving won't be so hot tomorrow and without that he's toast. That BH is one of the worst on tour and Novak will exploit the $h1t out of it.

 

[TennisFanatic7]

I think it will be similar to Rome with the first two sets being split narrowly before Novak simply outclasses Raonic.

I'm impressed that Milos has made it this far to be honest. I initially called him to get knocked out by now, but he hasn't had to go through Nishikori or Dolgopolov which was potentially the case at the time.

 

[Moxie]

If Raonic serves well, and comes in confident, he'll squeak out a set in a TB. Heck, Cilic got one. And Milos IS riding the maple leaf wave.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Nole may lose a set to the big serve but he may not.
Nole in straights, may be four.

 

[isabelle]

Nole in 3, Raonic'll be clueless especially with this type of weather (it rained 2h ago)
