serbinator destroys everyone.

Yep, it's true, an amazing performance by Novak, Raonic has played superb, great serve, he moved very well, not errors at all and Novak has to work pretty hard to win, not easy at all like with all his opponents, definitely he has done a great tournament....yeah....
Hope something changes soon, otherwise this sport would lose a lot the interest of many followers . One thing is to see a lot of competition though always there is a player playing better at least temporary and another thing is to see so much poor game from many of the good players like the youngest ones and not too young which could do much better but.......weak era? I hope not

Nice, that hug with Vajda.

He ties Nadal's 27 masters tittles record with this win.

But now No1e has 43 big titles to Nadal's 42 and he also made record 5th IW title (Federer has 4).

This title is 3 days early birthday present for Vajda.

Carol, I've been convinced No1e has enough haters to fill up any stadium in the world to be in opportunity to cheer for whoever against No1e, but seems they had enough because in last 18 big tournaments No1e won 14. They don't want to pay big money anymore just to see No1e lifting up all those trophies.

early break, I feel for the spectators.

Did you see the loud group of Serbian football fans? They were very amusing, especially during the ceremony when they were so happy for No1e's win that they even chanted to Raonic and Larry Ellison.

Carol, seriously. Can you just stop seeing it through your Nadal goggles? I'm tired of getting the blow-back from your being so myopic. Novak is currently skunking the field. He barely had to get out of second-gear today to blast Raonic off the court. It was a fight with Rafa, for much of the match, and we'll take some heart from that. But do you have to spin everything away from Novak? At a certain point, it becomes ridiculous. Back in 2008, I said that Rafa was playing on clay as if he'd invented a new game, and he hadn't told anyone else the rules. That is how Djokovic is playing now. That's just true. Make up whatever caveat you like.

Moxie, seriously I don't understand why you like always to attack me. Second I don't watch the tennis with any googles. Third, I have the right to say whatever I see and you are not any right to tell me what I have to say.
This is my opinion like others have, and my OPINION is that Raonic has played HORRIBLE because his injury back or whatever, also my OPINION is that Novak has played a mediocre tournament and even that has won, then it means that the others players have played worse and if you don't see that way it's your problem but not for that reason I'm going to tell you what you have to say. I'm not insult or despise to anyone like others do, I just say that I don't see too good competition around and I hope to see something better not only by Nadal but also from others players. So now is my request, stop to attack me, you did enough on TennisFrontier before,you seem to be too susceptible......

When have I ever attacked you? I mostly ignore you. Live and let live. Sure, you have a right to your opinion, like everyone else, including me.

Thanks, EG.

She is an embarrassment to Rafa fans, and encourages non-fans to like him even less because of her rabid fandom. You presented reasonable points and she took it as an attack and doubled down on her stupidity. It's sad.

Well, the quality of this conversation has just deteriorated. I'm going to restate what I said just above:
Back in 2008, I said that Rafa was playing on clay as if he'd invented a new game, and he hadn't told anyone else the rules. That is how Djokovic is playing now.

Not more than you who embarrassment to Federer fans, though you has deleted the comment I saw how you called Raonic 'giant bastard" so before to insult to anyone which I see you like to do look at you in the mirror

Disappointment for Raonic, but it again shows the disparity, basically between Novak and everyone, but definitely between even the top and bottom halves of the top 10.

Novak was able to return even his first serves, and put the ball in play. He made him move. In the process Milos re-aggravated that hip abductor. That's not an injury that just goes away.

Oh, that is unfortunate. He's playing at a good level. Injuries have been hard on him the last year. Hopefully this doesn't lay him down long.
