AMazing Defense Novak

 

[El Dude]

Yeah, this set is basically done. Milos just doesn't have the game to beat Novak.

set point

 

[kskate2]

3 more SP's for Milos

 

[Riotbeard]

Jeez nole!

 

[herios]

Raonic has become more than just a big serve. Obviously he has been working on his movement, but that will always be a liability for him. He and his team are building his game in a way that will minimize the problem. Good to see. Canadiens should be happy.

Thank you! You just summed up what I keep saying. And yes, I am happy...
Nole should just calm down and focus on another hand, He does not want to lose like he did a few times to Isner

I think he's resigned himself to playing a tiebreaker.

And that is a BAD strategy

 

[Riotbeard]

Sweet pass, come on...

 

[kskate2]

novak saves 2. one more to go on Milos serve

 

[nehmeth]

nice fight back... but all Raonic needs is one bomb and it's the set

 

[El Dude]

Wow, Raonic takes it. Foot in mouth.

 

[kskate2]

big first serve gets Milos the opening set 7-5

 

[Riotbeard]

Ugh... I gotta go to yoga. Nole needs to get it together mentally...

 

[nehmeth]

Ugh... I gotta go to yoga. Nole needs to get it together mentally...

Send up an Ohm or two on his behalf.

 

[DarthFed]

Awful tiebreak from Djoker

 

[Riotbeard]

Ugh... I gotta go to yoga. Nole needs to get it together mentally...

Send up an Ohm or two on his behalf.

Will do. I will send out a power burst to Novak :snigger
