Indian Wells 2015

[Front242]

147mph. Ridiculous.

 

[Murat B.]

Again Milos had the forehands, couldn't close it out. Nice defending as usual from Rafa..

 

[Murat B.]

MP for Rafa, Milos serving.

 

[Front242]

And Raonic forgets the golden rule of tennis. Never EVER go full retard. Too late now.

 

[Murat B.]

Nice save...

 

[Murat B.]

Now SP for Milos, Rafa serving.

 

[rafanoy1992]

That forehand by Nadal on 5-4 might cost him this set...

 

[Murat B.]

Another forehand wasted...funny thing is, Milos will make those forehands against anyone not named the big 3, routinely...These guys make you go for more and make you miss.

 

[Moxie]

Well, they're surely going to fight for it.

 

[Murat B.]

Horrible forehand from rafa on match point.

 

[Murat B.]

11-10 Milos. Rafa to serve.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Honestly Rafa you have had 3MPs?

Milos 24 UFE on his fhand so far

 

[rafanoy1992]

Wow...another crucial miss by Nadal on this tie break. Just like the first game of this set, he miss an easy return of serve.

Darn it! Nadal wasted SO many opportunites to close the match.

 

[Murat B.]

Good return sets up the point nicely and Milos wins the set.


I have to go BBQ in the snow.

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Ooft, what a tie break.

Milos seemed determined to miss as many opportunities as possible to clinch that set but got there eventually, well done.

Interesting third set to come. Worrying for Rafa? Hard to know these days. Usually I'd back him to take the decider ten times out of ten but no top ten wins since Roland Garros last year still.

 

[Kirijax]

Holy Miloey! Just slap me naked on a wrecking ball and call me Miley! Raonic grads the 2nd!

 

[rafanoy1992]

And this has been the problem for Nadal for the last couple of years. He just can't seem to close a match after winning the first set. Now, he has given Raonic some life now...

As for the 3rd set, I give the edge to Nadal just because he has been reading Raonic's serve very well except on very crucial moments.

However at the same time, Raonic's serve is still pretty big so anything can happen...

 

[nehmeth]

Let's see if Milos has a loss of focus after that set. Ralf will be looking for the opening.

 

[Front242]

Let's see if Milos has a loss of focus after that set. Ralf will be looking for the opening.

Wouldn't surprise me if he lost this set 6-2.

 

[Puppet Master]

I turned away from the TV when Rafa had 2 break points in the second set to make a call, and now they are playing the third set? I don't know what to say about this... terrible
