2019 Australian Open 4R - [4] Alexander Zverev vs. [16] Milos Raonic

The Green Mile · Jan 20, 2019

I'm loving how Raonic has taken pace off his 1st serve to maximize his potential on serve/volley. Much more time.

Zverev is just useless in Slams

Raonic doesn't just wear NB. He IS New Balance

Better than Berdych wearing Djokovic's shoes.

Sasha is playing crap, and Raonic isn't even all that good.

Watch Raonic broken 4+ times and pulverized by Djoko in straights in the SF.

Zverev will get pulverized too. It makes absolutely no difference.

He wears New Balance. That's pretty bad. I thought only people over 50 wore those. Or kids that don't let you copy their homework.

Here's proof:

That's offensive, I wear New Balance shoes.

At least you don't wear Skechers.

Zverev has caught Berdychitis

Needs to get past Medvedev first.

You honestly feel that Medvedev will even make it competitive against Djoko? I'd be surprised if he even won a set.
Djokovic is not Fed and he is not losing to anyone these days in the slams. And i doubt Medvedev is as good as the Greek kid who beat Fed.

BeatlesFan · Jan 20, 2019

Why does Zverev look so panic stricken?

You will be surprised tonight then

Zverev lunging around the back of the court.

Deon Sanders · Jan 20, 2019

Milos can't even bagel a dead body

Will lose this set

Vamos Rafa Nadal · Jan 20, 2019

snapped an 8 game losing streak, finally held a game. Snap out of it Sasha!

The Green Mile · Jan 20, 2019

Such labored movement as Petchey put it, I agree. What is he doing?

Steve0904 · Jan 20, 2019

That is quite possibly the worst slice I've ever seen in 15 years watching tennis.

TruthIncarnate · Jan 20, 2019

God sake zverev what's with all the gold around your neck? During an actual match? Who are you Razor Ramon????

BeatlesFan · Jan 20, 2019

Raonic 18/22 at the net. Wow!

Enceladus · Jan 20, 2019

Raonic-S. Zverev 6:1, 2:1
Milos is much more patient in rallies than Sascha.

Novak has been susceptible to losses against the younger players. I say this as a fan. It’s not out of the realm of possibility Med will beat him.

luiz_gustavo · Jan 20, 2019

First game Zverev wins on his serve...

I don't disagree with you. But Zverev would obviously make it a little more competitive given that he moves better than Raonic. Of course, not the way he is playing this match obviously.

Anyway, I had said before the tournament that everyone is basically playing for 2nd place. With Fed out, it just seems likely that Nadal will have the 2nd place.

Back up pair.

I don't think he would actually. Zverev vs Djoker in the SFs of a slam has blowout city written all over it. At least Raonic has a serve that might click and get him to a TB possibly.

abmk · Jan 20, 2019

Jeez, Zverev broken 2 more times after I went away for a while ?

Djokovic isn't invincible, we're not talking about Prime Nadal on clay.

This is frickin RAONIC not djokovic 2015

Have you seen Medvedev play. Djokovic's defense and ROS alone would frustrate Medvedev. Not to mention Novak is serving big and attacking with his forehand.
Also I havent't seen Novak lose in slam matches since he's been back in form.
We are talking about the best player on this surface in the history of the game. When he hangs up his racquet, Novak will have an unbeatable record at the AO.

I guess you're probably right. Do you have any idea why Zverev becomes this mental midget in slams? I don't get it. This guys is a totally different player from the one that won the WTF.

Time violation given by Carlos Ramos. Very sexist of him.

BeatlesFan · Jan 20, 2019

Finally Raonic gets a time violation.

NuBas · Jan 20, 2019

RAMOS is a boss

Even prime Nadal was not invincible on clay. Soderling beat him didn't he?
But Djokovic on AO, is as close to domination on hardcourts as you can ever get. Which other player has dominated this surface more?

Noletheking · Jan 20, 2019

Theheheh people are expecting mugs of new generation like Zverev to stop Nole from winning slams? seriously? they've trouble beating even tier 2 and 3 players at slams.

Enceladus · Jan 20, 2019

Raonic-S. Zverev 6:1, 3:1
6th and 7th DF from Sascha in today's match. Milos created only one DF.

@Imperator I am just joking too, NB actually look better than the Nike kits nowadays..

Vamos Rafa Nadal · Jan 20, 2019

Nadal is playing at a high enough level to win this tournament.

Aussie Darcy · Jan 20, 2019

Another DF LOL.

Zverev's FH is garbage for one thing. It's not really a slam winning FH right now if it ever will be. He basically has the early career Andy Murray syndrome with a 10th of Murray's talent.

Milos v Zverev 61,,3-1
