Cincinnati SF - Federer v. Raonic

[Federberg]

In the first set, Milos won 0 points on return. That is amazing.

However, he got in to almost every service game of Fed in the second set.

This shows that Milos has the return game too, once the nerves have calmed down.

I agree Raonic probably would have won if he wasn't nervous.

Really not sure how you get to that conclusion. Raonic was terrible. He's never beaten Roger. At best we can say it should have been a closer match. While I haven't been that impressed with Rogers form, his defeat of Murray indicates he's rounding up into some decent confidence. He's starting to put something together. He should go deep at Flushing. Milos would have had to bring something we haven't seen yet. Not even sure he's capable

just saw the highlights. raonics running forehand is garbage. overall just terrible. also puts hair gel to keep his hair nice which pisses me off for some reason. this is not a fashion show ughh

Raonic gives the tour a much-needed shot of eccentricity.
Federer, Nadal, Gulbis, JJ and Fognini are about the only genuine eccentrics out there.
I mean those 5 guys are not trying to be eccentric, they genuinely are.
The rest are either boring or posers (people who rehearse their personality).
