That Raonic shirt is a :nono

 

[Front242]

LOL at the number of people yawning in the crowd in the Raonic match.

3rd set tiebreak in Daniel-Raonic match.

Wow Daniel is trying really hard, good effort even though he is 0:3 in the TB.

20 Aces for Milos and a tie-breaker to boot.
Should be over soon.

Speedy little fella alright and great defense but nothing much you can do against that serve when he hits it well. Hence the number of yawning spectators.

Damn, I was loving it too :snigger Back to the Llodra volley showcase.

Raonic hit one at 140 MPH

Raonic hit one at 140 MPH

Fast but far from the fastest

 

[Front242]

The reigning king of s&v is through in straight sets. Nicely done.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Missed all the action from today. Upset that Pospisil lost in 5 sets.

 

[Moxie]

With all the rigamarole, Novak's match is going to start v. late. But I don't think Schwartzman's ever even won a HC match, so maybe he gets off quickly.

 

[TsarMatt]

Oh hell yeah, Nick Kyrgios! That's what I am talking about. Great win! He's so clutch in tie-breaks - just like at Wimbledon. He has a lot of mental strength for his age. He even admitted there he was feeling a lot of expectations for the USO this year, but you couldn't tell that by looking at him on the court.

Yeah, great win alright but not sure how far he'll go with a sore arm :s

Hopefully it's not too serious.

We'll see. But he didn't succumb to the obvious today, i.e., get ahead of a veteran and then fade. He hung tough in the 2nd, even after letting Youzhny back in, and he didn't let him get it to a 5th, which might have been fatal. A lot of great up-side for a 19-year-old.

 

[Front242]

I like Youzhny too but to be honest I'm glad Kyrgios won. Can see him doing more damage than Youzhny would going forward. 26 aces today certainly sealed it for him.

 

[Front242]

With today's win for those in the US or yesterday to me, Kyrgios has moved up to number 52. Great progress. Gotta move up 4 more places though. Ain't cool being below Donald Young

Missed all the action from today. Upset that Pospisil lost in 5 sets.

Disappointing.

There were 2 more 5 setters and there is one being played on court 8 as I write this.

Ladies are done, Novak is next.
