2014 Wimbledon Semi: Raonic v Federer

[Kieran]

Somebody else open a thread for the final - I did both semis

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Raonic sprays the forehand. Roger will serve to face Nole, at 5-4

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Kieran, this is good for Milos. he has to see how life is at this level. Of course, this surface never helped him movement wise.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Because he cannot hide here like on hards or clay

 

[Kieran]

Thats true, Murat, but blokes who are 90% reliant on serve dont usually beat Federer - anywhere - in a major

 

[Kieran]

This is a match that felt like it ended after the first game, cos then that set was gone and Fed is a great leader

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Miloss strength is serve and forehand, the one-two punch. he got here with those two. Roger just does not allow you

 

[Kieran]

Thats right

 

[Kieran]

Roger goes up a stratosphere in majors and guys like Milos need a lot more to counter

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

bad miss from Roger...did not even have to hit it like that

 

[Garro]

quick match

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

wow...thats it...first ever grass final between roger and nole.

 

[Kieran]

Consistent and classy and far more experienced - great stuff by Roger!

 

[Kieran]

Good tourney by Milos, hes worked hard over the last year, he should take encouragement from this

 

[nehmeth]

Roger at least was able to get his done in three!!

 

[Riotbeard]

Yeah. Good showing from rog. Thought that serve would cause him more trouble. Hope Novak raises his game.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

for sure Kieran. The kid is learning from the best.

 

[Kieran]

Both youngsters knocked out - but Grigor showed the more versatility and game

 

[nehmeth]

yep

 

[Riotbeard]

Grigor was better for sure, both should be encouraged, but both showed they need some more experience.
