Rogers Cup Final - Nadal v. Raonic

[Murat Baslamisli]

MIlos is not the greatest mover on a good day, today he looks extra slow.

 

[Kieran]

Yeah. So far, Nadal is looking good....

 

[zalvar]

Those forehands! lol

 

[atttomole]

Does not look like a match at all. It will be over in 30 minutes.

 

[Moxie]

Oh, I'm watching....Rafa up 2 breaks. Milos came out looking relaxed, but he's getting tighter by the minute. He knows he has to serve big and he's really missing on his first serves. And Nadal is punishing the 2nd ones.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Looks like a man against a boy out there. Serious schooling happening.

 

[zalvar]

1000 points coming up?

 

[Kieran]

Man against a boy, so far...

Ha! Didn't see that, but you're right....

Does Raonic have any other weapon besides a first serve ? I feel like I know the outcome of the point if he doesn't get his 1st serve in....weak.

Exactly. He booms and if Rafa zooms, then he's gone pop!

 

[zalvar]

He has a good inside out forehand ... but he can't seem to get ready to do it today ... Rafa groundies too epic.

 

[Kieran]

Question: Can Hawkeye be used for footfaults?

 

[Kieran]

Er, Cali, just to distract me from the match...what exactly did you base your prediction upon?

 

[nehmeth]

Raonic being embarrassed before the whole country of Canada. Rafa looking absolutely formidable.

:clap :clap :clap

 

[DarthFed]

Well if the cheater was going to go down today it's just as well that it is a total humiliation in front of his home crowd. And is this truly the biggest match in the history of Canada? That sounds like a cruel joke.

 

[zalvar]

Oh lord, pls raonic don't make this interesting. My nerves are still fried from last night.

 

[nehmeth]

Ralf comes back from 0-40. Will be interesting to see how the snout responds.

 

[Moxie]

Rafa lost some intensity, but then ramped it back up when he got into trouble.

 

[Kieran]

Rafa's forehand is like a lasso....
