Cincinnati SF - Federer v. Raonic

[NADAL2005RG]

Wow. Federer came from 30 points down to break Raonic's serve and leads 2-0 in the 1st set.

 

[golds girl]

Super shaky start for Milos

 

[Moxie]

Great start for Roger.

Raonic is so terrible. What a disgrace that he is even in the Top 30.

 

[NADAL2005RG]

Raonic playing like he has liquorice all over his racquet.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

This is like Wimby all over again...Roger breaks early.

 

[NADAL2005RG]

You have to be in the top 30 when you make SF of Rome, QF of Roland Garros, SF of Wimbledon :laydownlaughing

How could you have expected anything different? The guy can't hit on the run. He is a lumbering, awkward 6-7 tennis doofus.

Add to that that the guy wears freaking New Balance clothes!!!!!! Lol. The clothing brand of 60-year-olds. Combine that with a Saved by the Bell haircut and you have a monstrosity of a tennis player.

Maybe a little more respect for the only guy that made all the quarters or better in every Masters 1000 this year?

That is a reflection of the state of pro tennis right now. The game is not what it was 5-10 years ago except for the Top 4.

Roddick was the big server of Federer's generation and do you ever recall him looking this unathletic?

 

[NADAL2005RG]

Brad Gilbert should coach Raonic.

Milos is much taller, no? It is not easy for guys like him to run a round like rabbits. He has improved somewhat in that regard but there is a ceiling there...

 

[Moxie]

Raonic has learned a bit of net game, to be fair.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Roger is playing like he needs to be somewhere else...like...bed?

 

[golds girl]

Roger is playing like he needs to be somewhere else...like...bed?

Yep...what time do those kids go to bed...like 6pm, which is probably when he had dinner...he's trying to be done and asleep :snigger

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

This is just a horrible match up for Milos...Roger gives him no time to even think.

Delpo and Tsonga are tall but they can still move. Raonic has pigeon toes and he is a photograph of emasculation. I personally can't get past the haircut. It is unthinkable that an athlete in this day and age would sport that.

 

[atttomole]

Raonic's first serve is bad so far.

 

[NADAL2005RG]

The points are so quick, Federer won't be worn out, even if it goes 3 sets.

 

[calitennis127]

The bigger issue is how the hell is this guy a Top 10 player? It shows how much the game has declined in recent years.
