Nadal upbeat despite Djokovic loss... believes it may be the start of a revival.

"I had my chances in the first set. I felt for a moment that I was competing at the highest level possible. "

It would be great to see Djokovic force Raonic to rally, but it's doubtful there will be much of that today.

If Raonic plays well he will win, otherwise another lucky day for Novak

^ Lol, brilliant analysis. That talentless hack Djokovic has no chance if Milos plays well.

"brilliant analysis"! You made my day.

"brilliant analysis"! You made my day.

Soooo, do you think that Raonic is playing well this final? really? he looks a 38 years old playing, his serve with "too much noise" but very bad results, RIDICULOUS, another gift for Novak, come on!

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

milos holds serve for once.

 

[Carol]

This is the most ugly, boring and bad final I have seen. Someone said that Milos marches forward? lol, I would say is marches backward .
This is even worse than the match against Feli. Congrats Novak, you have not needed to play well, your opponents have taken care with it :sleep:

Not watching but I'm guessing you had unrealistic hopes that the soon to be 5 time Indian Wells Champion was going to have problems with Raonic.

He's serving against the best returner in the sport. Raonic was like 0-10 on 2nd serve points won. That puts huge pressure on him to get every first serve in. So the bad results are thanks to Djokovic.

 

[Denis]

I think both players are playing quite well actually. A bit too many UFE from Raonic. I'm liking Nova's volleying today.

MTO for Raonic. Whats up with him?

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

some sort of back injury..typical milos.

 

[EdbergsGhost]

MTO for Raonic. Whats up with him?

He's getting his ass handed to him. Taking a page out of the Nadal playbook.

And besides to play so badly Raonic seems to have some kind of injury...now I understand.....too much
