Yep, I think he is 8-12 matches from being as match tough where he can contend for GS championships, IMO

And this is why I am very happy to see that Raonic has a shot to play Rafa right now. At one point he will score a win at minimum against Rafa, and maybe the time is now.

His shot will have to be a very good serve and that could help him to go more to the net, otherwise he will lose 6-0 times against Nadal

I am not a fan of Raonic or his game at all,hopefully Rafa can win in straight sets.

Honestly, if the guys from the "future" generation can not handle the big three when they are so far away from their peaks, they simply never will. He won't get too many opportunities like this.

Milos has already defeated Roger on his best surface (indoors) nonetheless. Rafa's turn will come as well, sooner or later, even if is not tomorrow.

As per SI.Tennis on Twitter,

Tomic has withdrawn with back injury.Djokovic gets a walkover into the s/finals,plays either Murray or Lopez.

It's funny to see that after every point Muzz and Felli look like they are too tired but I don't think the are :snicker

The aggresivity of Feli is completely null, he is playing too passive

Good stuff from Andy, another shot at Nole to come on Saturday. Be nice to see a Fedal semi in the other half but I feel with Rafa s wobbly form, Raonic has a great chance to cause an upset. Fed to beat Berdych is not guaranteed either of course.

Will the semi final matches get their own threads?

I am not looking forward to the match up in the s/final Muzz v Novak

They seem to bring the worst out in each other.:rolleyes:

Tomic has also had a wisdom tooth playing up all week as well,apparently if he cant get it removed next week he will be out of Miami,had same issue a year ago,but didnt get it removed.

Well, if it's impacted, getting it removed might still preclude playing Miami. :(

I am not certain if it is impacted or not,though his main concern this week has been his back,he has been wearing tape on it all week,this tooth thing has just flared up again apparently,he even said he should have got it removed last year when it flared up.

Even though Murray is playing well here imo, he doesn't stand a chance, Djokovic just gets too many free points on him. What do you guys think?
