The blockbuster QF out of all of them. Raonic might be a bit tired from his 4th round, but I think he can pull an upset. Still going with Fed in 5.

Fed in three or four with one or two really tight sets/tiebreaks and a couple relatively easy ones for Roger. I just don't see Milos being able to break Roger.

I don't see how Raonic even gets a set on Roger. If he does, then I'm over the complaint about the grass, because that would be his one ace-in-the-hole...impenetrable serve.

Raonic's win over Fed last year does not mean much. I wouldn't give Raonic even a set this year. But, he will reach at least one TB though.

Federer is 147% better than last year, Raonic is 46,4% worst. Federer in three.

I'm too nervous to watch! I'm going to go bury my head in work for a couple of hours...

i don't entirely get the negative sentiment for Raonic. I get that he's a bit of a serve bot, but he seems like a decent guy.

I had a chance to talk to him a bunch of times in my club in Toronto. Very cool guy, humble, cerebral. Great family too.

That's nice. Still pulling for fed I think?
Yeah...because this may be it, you know...As much as Roger keeps surprising us, how long can he do it?
Cilic is scaring me though...I still have nightmares about that US Open semi where he flat out demolished Roger. Obviously there is Novak before that but whatever ;-):

Milos is serving 72% first serves in and look at the scoreline...Roger may not be the best returner of second serves out there, but he HAS to be right at the top when it comes to returning and nullifying the first serves of big servers.

What a clinic? I am afraid that if I take couple of minutes to post a message here, the match might be over by then.

Excellent tiebreak from Federer. Not vintage, but still graceful. I can as well stop watching tennis when Federer retires.
