Kei will be tough if Roger doesn't serve a lot better. I am confident for Roger vs Murray on this surface unless the former plays awful.

Kei himself served like crap earlier too I saw from the stats (missed that match earlier). 8 DFs or something like that. He's very solid in rallies though so definitely a tough match.

I don't watch enough, but I don't think Kei will run around his backhand so obscenely! If you do it, at least make it count; Milos did not! All he did was leave his court open and limited his approaches to the backhand of Roger! :rolleyes: :puzzled :angel: :dodgy:

Roger goes to the 1st place in his group, good win for him. That was an awful TB by Milos.:puzzled

The win in two sets against Milos would play a crucial role in making sure that Roger wins
the group.

I think it would probably be very difficult for Andy and as well as Kei to win in two against
Milos. So, even if Andy and Kei win against Milos, we can say they will lose a set along the
way.

If there are three players in this group with a 2-0 record, this may be the factor that
decides the winner.

The worst! :nono :rolleyes: :cover

Nerves can make a great server look average. Once he missed the break opportunities in set #2, that was it. I didn't really believe Milos can beat Roger 2 times in a row, doesn't happen very often.:)

A TB bagel? I wonder if MIlos has ever lost a TB 7-0.

This is the first time he has been bageled on hard court indoors or out. But he was bageled one other time in his career in 2011 on the Barcelona clay by Ivan Dodig.

Career tiebreak leader Federer (.651) bagels the 2014 tiebreak leader Raonic (.628). :clap :puzzled

Respectfully,
masterclass

What is the trivia question?

Roger lost to the same player back to back only once. Who is he? We have talked about it here, but I did not see if it was answered.

Canas?

No, other posters answered it. There were matches between the Canas matches and Garro pointed out that Djokovic beat Roger twice (Paris final, first RR match WTF) in a row.

Yea he lost to Canas in his 1st match at IW and then won 2 matches in Miami before losing to Canas in R16. It has only happened vs. Djokovic and given how Djokovic plays on this stuff and given that it was 2013 it is understandable.

Funny...Edberg will present the Edberg award...LOL

You just never got ignorant behavior out of Stefan; even with the antics of Boris and McEnroe to deal with in major events! :clap :shy: :angel:

Agreed. Stefan's always been a class act.
