I saw only a few points on Sunday, the moonballing combined with grunting was unbearable to watch. Reminded me why I disliked him so intensely from he start.
He did play a few unbelievable defensive shots, as well, but as a whole package it was just: death ....
There should be some decent matches tomorrow....at laaaast
Which makes his defeats very enjoyable for some reasons...He is the benchmeark when it comes to playing ugly but they are too few and far in between on clay.
I still fancy Murray to do create the upset!
"I still fancy Murray to do create the upset! "
yeah, that would be a match to see (not), running each other to dust....but definitely interesting to see which tactics Murray would use.
I'd go with aggressive counter-punching , that's the perfect game plan for Murray and not to difficult for him.
Murray Raonic shoudl be interesting. I will try to watch some of it.
Surprised to see Lopez leads 6/5 in his H2H v Ferrer. Very surprised.....but I would be more surprised if Ferrer were to lose today.
At laaaast...so many things to do ...I hope Murray Raonic still going...
Briliang, it hasn't even started yet!
Why did I think it was starting at 10
This Raonic is very impressive. I feel sorry for Lendl cause there is not much today with such a serve.
Watch Murray try to extend rallies length to get the sting out of Raonic.
Read...There is not much Murray can do
against such a serve.
Yes, he'll switch to the pusher mode, but Raonic loves it as he loves to put those away as soon as he can.
Raonic is the smartest of the youngenses (by quite some margin), similar to Isner in that way but with a lot of well-disguised fire.
We can now safely conclude that Raonic and Isner WILL NOT be in Nadal's half any time soon
When you watch Raonic, it makes you wonder why Berdych stays on the base line all the time....All in the head, all in the head....
Murray is already doing lots of running and scrapping. Impressive game from Raonic....win or lose.
I am not sure he is the smartest but he certainly has the biggest weapon(s).
Murray really needs to watch his mouth.
"I am not sure he is the smartest but he certainly has the biggest weapon(s). "
Watch him next time he plays Harrison.
Berdych's serve is not half as good and his middle court game is really lacking.
Yes, Raonic is going to join Nadal's betes noirs list...to be placed on Djoko's side.
This is what I was saying teh other day. Murray will have to grab his slam very soon cause soon it will be way beyond him with the youngsters improving. And you can see also bar injuries of course, why Djoko might not dominate for that long. Remember Raonic is only 21..I believe.
"Berdych's serve is not half as good and his middle court game is really lacking."
It is, but why?
Raonic strong as a bull....
Murray's not playing badly...pretty agressive in fact.
What do you think Droo?
"And you can see also bar injuries of course, why Djoko might not dominate for that long."
Nole's got enough game to handle anybody else's game, that's the beauty of someone who has no weaknessess
Murray generally plays best when he's pushed against the wall, o.e. instincitively.
