2014 Miami Quarterfinal: Nadal vs. Raonic

[Front242]

This is almost in slow motion today.

 

[Front242]

Another great FH from Golum.

 

[Riotbeard]

Nadal is playing quite passive

 

[Murat B.]

Lame backhand Milos...

 

[Murat B.]

Milos will probably regret the lame play on the BP.

 

[Front242]

Golum's backhand is letting him down but the forehand has been very good so far.

 

[Front242]

When you have a chance in a service game you can't hit a limp wristed lame backhand to a pretty weak serve.

 

[nehmeth]

Close call for Ralf there... good thing Milos still needs a lot of work on his ground game.

 

[Riotbeard]

Good hold from raonic.

 

[nehmeth]

Nadal is playing quite passive

Kinda hard to get into his rhythm when he's dodging rockets.

 

[Murat B.]

Milos just needs to give the backhand a bit more air. Flattening it too much.

[Murat B.]

Same error from Milos. Great inside out forehand followed by an inside in error. BP.

 

[nehmeth]

Raonic's forehand keeping him in this service game.

 

[Front242]

Golum carefully running around every backhand there to hit only forehands.

About the only way to stop Rafa these days. :nono

 

[Riotbeard]

Inside out= good, inside in= bad

 

[Murat B.]

144mph...Woah...

 

[Moxie]

Raonic missed that serve, but it was 142mph. However, Nadal was on it. This will have Raonic thinking as time goes on.

 

[Murat B.]

Big hold. "Poise" is the name of the game for Milos in this match.
