Even if MIlos had a great serving day, it was going to be tough. The way he is serving now, it will be over fairly quickly.

Can't believe I've wasted an hour of my life watching this glorified practice session. Not that I expected Raonic to trouble him much at all but zzzzzz. Seriously, Ljubicic should hop off his chair and come down and play instead. Guarantee he'd do a whole lot better.

Rafa to serve for it. I think there was a chance that this match could have been a little more interesting, but only a small one.

Rafa looking absolutely formidable.

He looks determined... :p

His play is formidable. His look is determined. Quite correct my friend.

Watching the plodding Raonic reminds me of a draft horse in heavy harness. Who could ever think he moves better than Del Potro?

It's like watching Serena v Sharapova. As one sided as it gets.

Umpire's talking French to try make it sound sexy, at least...

Nice 1000 points from Rafa, still unbeaten on hard courts. Congrats.
Milos looked like he had nothing in the tank and his biggest weapon deserted him. Top 10 is his consolation prize.

So proud of Rafa. Indian Wells wasn't a fluke!

Nadal's not far behind Murray points wise now with this win. Still looking forward to seeing them play each other again. Way more entertaining than Djokovic v Murray.

Hmmm...if I'd paid big bucks for Final Sunday and had to sit through a bagel on the women's side and a 1st Round Match on the men's side I'd be pretty upset. Maybe there's a redemptive Doubles Match that they can enjoy ;)
