2016 AO SF: Murray-Raonic

[britbox]

And a champion's POV?

Yes, definitely. I think a lot of these top pros are seeing the advantages of working with coaches who aren't too far removed from the tour and enjoyed great success... Moya, Chang, Becker, Edberg, Lendl...

Doesn't always mean a good player makes a good coach... but there seems to be a pattern developing.

 

[Moxie]

Well said.

 

[britbox]

Great volley and excellent hold from Milos. The improvement in this kid can't be underestimated.

 

[britbox]

Milos gets some pretty cute angles on those cross court forehand exchanges... Still question marks on the backhand though.

 

[britbox]

Murray levels things up!

Great rally to win the preceding Break Point.

 

[Moxie]

I must go back to bed, but still not sure now this one goes. Looks like Murray has his feet under him, but I'm very impressed with Raonic.

 

[EdbergsGhost]

4-5 and we get to see if Raonic blinks again here.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

oof..finally got a live link..interesting match, courts are quicker this year.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

class volley by milos 5-2/

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

boom...maple leaf missile a set away from debut major final.

 

[britbox]

Raonic looks so composed.

 

[britbox]

What stream did you get Jllb?

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

well its got Chinese writing so i'm not sure, totan, oopa, x-bet, is also dotted around the link. but prob just adverts.

its got Robbie Koenig commentating over the top of link, so its a bit strange lol.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

vstream ?? very good pic where ever its from.

 

[britbox]

Ha ha.

I think the line umpire was reading that chinese writing with that call. No wonder Milos is pissed even though he won the point.

 

[Federberg]

wow.. been too busy this morning to pay attention. Murray in severe danger. Perhaps for the best, who wants to see another Djoker-Murray beatdown. Let someone else give us a bit of variation. Who knows, best server versus best returner... could be fun

 

[britbox]

Agreed federberg - Murray/Djokovic would be another predictable match... Raonic might make things interesting, although Novak is going to go toe to toe cross court on that backhand surely... should Milos prevail here of course.

 

[britbox]

Big chance for Murray - 3 BPs

 

[britbox]

Gets the break. We still have a match on folks.
