  • Milos Raonic Admits He Touched the Net During Del Potro Match

    Milos Raonic Admits He Touched the Net During Del Potro Match

    After dropping the first set, it looked like Juan Martin Del Potro was cruising to the end of a hard-earned second set in order to force a third, against the Canadian Milos Raonic at the Rogers Cup, on Thursday night in Montreal. But while serving up a break at 4-3, Raonic rushed to the net to put away the ball with a forehand when his foot hit the net before the point was officially over.

    The chair umpire said he didn’t see it, so the point was awarded to the Canadian. A visibly upset Del Potro got into an argument with the umpire, who admitted he made a mistake after watching the replay on the stadium’s big screen.

    Del Potro never won another point. His serve was broken, then Raonic served it out, winning the match 7-5, 6-4.

    After the match, the Canadian was asked by the press whether or not he should have called himself on it, and said, “It’s a big point. If you can put somebody in that situation being down break point, same thing happens do you call it on yourself?”

    When a reporter told him the point was Del Potro’s, Raonic replied, “Hypothetically yes, technically no.”

    Samantha Stosur (5), of Australia, beat Victoria Azarenka (1) 6-2, 6-3 at the Southern California Open today, in Carlsbad.

    It was Stosur’s first win against Azarenka, and the Australian’s first title since winning the US Open in 2011.

    From the beginning, the match was all about Stosur, the last-minute wildcard entrant. She served well, won almost every point when she came to the net, and her groundstrokes were particularly effective.

    Juan Martin Del Potro Beats John Isner to Win the Citi Open in Washington, DC

    Juan Martin Del Potro, the World No. 7 from Argentina, beat John Isner 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 in the final of the Citi Open in Washington, DC. It was Del Potro’s third straight title here, having also won the last two times he played, in 2008 and 2009.

    After a slow start, the Argentine quickly lost the first set in just under 20 minutes. Once the second set began, however, Del Potro was able to turn things around, handily winning that set 6-1. The third was a little more competitive, but Del Potro’s power and accuracy were too much for Isner.
