Thanks good Sir

 

[the AntiPusher]

JIsner through... next match will be a little "boom-boom" with Berdy.

Big John wont beat Berdy.. Berdy is destined to meet up with Fed , correct

 

[Front242]

Yeah think if they both win their 4 round matches they meet in the quarters.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

One more hold Milos.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Bad game. 0-40.

 

[Riotbeard]

Allez Gilles!

 

[tented]

Allez Gilles!

:nono I was rooting for him, too.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Ranking wise this might look normal, but it is actually a big win for Milos for many reasons...opponent style, surface, etc.
Well done big guy.

Edit; Handling the crowd was a big thing for him too. He has always been poised but when people erupt in celebration after you miss a serve, it gets to some folks.

Channeling my French fan: BOOOOOOOOO! BOOOOO! Vamos winner of granolliers and Klizan. Really have no desire to watch another Raonic/ Novak match even though I am pretty confident novak will ultimately prevail.

I'm glad for Milos, too. He's much improved.

I don't think Raonic would cause much trouble to Nole in a best of 5 QF at RG. But the kid is maturing, winning a 5th set on clay vs. Simon is a big win as Murat mentioned.

I just don't wanna watch it from a viewer perspective, haha.

The Rome semi was pretty entertaining between them. It's not like he's Karlovic, or even Isner. He moves around more than that. He'll give Novak a little trouble, but he won't beat him. Probably get a set, though.

As a novak fan it was exhausting. Not much rhythm to the match.

 

[DarthFed]

I don't think he'd get a set this time even.

Guy like Raonic is always a threat to snag one in a TB, that's why I say it.

Novak has to get through Jo first. Hopefully he closes down both guys without the hiccups he had today.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

^There is also no guarantee that Milos is beating Granola. Lapses happen after long emotional wins.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Congrats to Roger also for the 12th. round of 16, passing Vilas in that regard. It is obviously just a stat but still impressive having that kind of longevity.

In another weird stat, Verdasco becomes just the 6th man in Open Era to come back from two sets down at all 4 slams (Federer, Becker, Krickstein, Noah, Nalbandian)

 

[Rose]

I don't have too many players on the men's side that I would like to see win so I guess I'll stick mostly with the women.
