On this end, Raonic has done a lot of work to tighten up the weaker areas. Forehand return is more compact, really a weapon at times. His backhand has come a long way, much more consistent in rallies. I still don't think it compensates for his movement, but he's working to improve wherever he's able to.

They're in the tiebreaker now Milos lost the first point.

I've grown to like Raonic alittle , largely because of the way he keeps evolving his game... didn't like him at all initially.

3-1 Veseley in the final set.

Raonic wins the tiebreaker, not just with his serve, but also with hustle and solid ground strokes.

They're switching back over now that Milos finished the match.

Nole steadies the horse, but still a break down in the final set. 2-3

 

[EdbergsGhost]

Good to hear Vesely was able to consolidate on his break of serve. Switched back in time to see Djoker hold at love.

Have to admire anyone who is willing to work so hard, no matter how ugly their game (or face) might be.

Veseley goes 4-2 up in the decider.

Lol. I don't think the catwalk is an option for Veseley... face for radio.

Vesely? I was talking about Raonic, but you're right.

 

[britbox]

Veseley 5-3 up in the decider.

 

[EdbergsGhost]

One more hold for Vesely and Novak has a short drive back to his apartment, to contemplate his loss

 

[britbox]

Match Point Veseley.

 

[britbox]

Gutsy stuff from Novak. Match point saved.

 

[britbox]

Big hold! Pressure on Veseley to serve it out.

I can't believe I am missing this, or that this guy is playing like this at crunch time against Nole in Nole's hometown.

Veseley is playing well... but we'll see what he's made of now as he has to serve it out.

Prediction: At least one DF from Jiri.

Will we see again better competition than these last months and part of the last year? it would be great.!
