Raonic - Murray 2012 Tokyo
Raonic - Murray, Tokyo SF
Perhaps the real derby of the tournament. Raonic played great in some sequences with Tipsarevic, however Murray is riding a wave of great confidence. Your pick? It's tied: 2012 US Open NY, U.S.A. Hard R16 Murray, Andy 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 2012 Barcelona Spain Clay Q Raonic, Milos 6-4, 7-6(3) Stats

Murray is just on fire and seems to be coasting against Wawrinka right now. After his last two months, it's hard to imagine him going down very easily or at all. I'm pulling for Raonic, but Murray in 3 tight ones.

Murray in 2, no problems.
Murray outclassed him in New York, and although Raonic did have some fight, he's just not at Andy's level yet. 6-3 6-4 |

Let's not forget that Raonic lost to Nadal in Tokyo 2010 and Tokyo 2011 without breaking Nadal even once (in 2010, Nadal WON 6-4 6-4, and in 2011, Nadal WON 7-5 6-3). So clearly Raonic has trouble breaking opponents who serve well in Tokyo, so it should be a decisive straight sets one-break-per-set win for Murray.

Is he playing in Challengers? I don't really follow those. Regardless, Murray has a very poor second serve, so Raonic will have chances to break him - problem for Raonic is that Murray is the best returner in the game, which neutralises his most potent weapon. |

Murray is going to kill Raonic as he seems to be on a roll after his first slam win at the USO and he is a better player than Raonic. Murray in straights most likely.

voted for Raonic to even up the votes a bit
Murray will win in 2 sets, 1 set with a double break, one with a single.

This is a right fate tempter, but I make Murray 20-2 in the semis of ATP500/250 events - it's pushing six years since he lost one (Feb 07).

The majority of those are 250s, this is not a 250. Moving on...I will try to watch for sure.
