France's Gael Monfils or Canada's Milos Raonic? Who goes on to the semifinal?

I think Milos makes it to the semis in a four set victory!

I hope so; maybe I can stop griping about the next generation being gutless! That was a step in the right direction; taking out Stan like that! Very impressive; such an annoying player who's Jeckyll/Hyde act is getting old! One moment he's hitting screaming winners against the best in the world, the next he can't keep the ball in play against a qualifier! ;-) :angel: :dodgy: :cover :p

It is the clown vs. clown faced guy. I pick the clown to win (in 4).

I base my prediction on wishful thinking.

Beating Stan and then losing to Gael would seriously hurt...I am hoping Milos will take care of business. Gael is tricky though, so Milos has to concentrate on his own game and nothing else.

Good points. I think Milos will be OK, and win in 4.

Raonic is playing well, I can see a semis between him and Muzz, then I'd would cheer for the Scotsman
Raonic in four

Personally I'm rooting for Monfils. At least he makes it interesting. Raonic is beyond boring. Another big guy who's all serve and lumbers around the court slapping at the ball as hard as he can. Sure, he's coming forward, but it's like watching a giraffe with a tennis raquet rush the net - only the novelty of it is considerably less interesting.

I'd rather the new guard come to the for; Monfil's had his chances and's blown it! I need for someone other than Murray in this final! Not sure Gael can stay on the court throwing his body around the way he did the other day! :cover
