Australian Open [Men] - Grand Slam

Raonic is in quite control of this match so far.

Tsitsipas looks clueless at the moment.

Wow your sad using the hot heat for Federer getting smashed by milkman Djokovic and nadal handled the humid weather fine so your point weak just like Federer game that night anyway he should easy beat milkman this time.

What imaginary point do you think I'm trying to make genius? I just repeated what was said about Fed's loss to Millman! I couldn't care less! :whistle:

 

[rafanoy1992]

I said this on the young and upcoming thread: Tsitsipas’ two biggest weaknesses in terms of game wise are return of serve and sometimes his second serve.

This match right now is showing his weaknesses. He is only winning 45% on his second serve and he is only winning 25% of Raonic’s serve. That’s not good at all especially against a player like Raonic

 

[mrzz]

Raonic gets a two sets lead! Very happy to be wrong in my draw in this case...

Milos played really good after he wasted 3 setpoints. Big serving just when he needed it. I am joining rooting for Milos here. C'mon Montenegro giant!

Credit for Tsitsipas for playing those 3 set points pretty well actually

A few good passing shots there. He will need more of those if he wants to extend this match. It has to be minimum 4 sets here.

 

[rafanoy1992]

If Tsitsipas loses this match, he will be 1-3 in his last three GS events. He started 8-2 started last year.

 

[rafanoy1992]

I just want to say big credit to Milos Raonic! He is playing big and aggressive tennis tonight.

 

[don_fabio]

Millman with an early break. The rise of the underdogs today.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Quick start for Millman, 4-1. Federer has to serve better and clean his groundstrokes 7 UFEs already...

 

[don_fabio]

Let Federer feel a bit when the crowd is not so much on his side.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Just like Osaka, Federer is missing a lot balls. Also, Millman is not even sweating hard with these rallies!

 

[rafanoy1992]

Federer breaks Millman’s serve and we are back on serve. It looks like Federer found his rhythm ...

Federer just played a HORRIBLE service game to lose the 1st set 6-4. 14 Unforced errors in that set for Federer...not good at all

Just tuning in. Shut off my alarms for the Osaka/Gauff match and rolled over. Disappointed I missed it because I definitely did not see Gauff winning it in straight sets. Fed struggling I see. But he's got the break back. So I'll take it. He'll try everything he can to avoid joining the two huge upsets today. Looks like Tsitsipas may not be able to though. Good on Raonic.

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Wow. Of course as I was typing Fed just hands the break back. To love. Ouch.

 

[mrzz]

To use and Darthfed's expression, this is vintage vanilla Federer

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Millman just keeps believing. Wants to keep the pressure up. Fed shanking a volley and a forehand in that first game of the second set when up 30-love.

The good news for Tsitsipas: He defending his serve a lot better this 3rd set

The bad news for Tsitsipas: He is still cannot return Raonic’s serve this 3rd set.
