Will Raonic-Llodra be shown from Monte Carlo?

I see this, but not sure:

RDS Canada All matches Cable/Satellite

http://www.monte-carlorolexmasters.com/TV/TV-Schedule.aspx
----

Well, Sportsnet.ca will show Monte Carlo seemingly indeed only starting on Monday:

I mean for Raonic.

Milos Raonic in Barcelona

He's going to play Stepanek, Kendrick, Soderling in Barcelona.

He's seeded, (15), but only the top 8 seeds get a bye:

http://www.atpworldtour.com/posting/2011/425/mds.pdf

Tough again, but let's hope he gets to Soderling. Stepanek is very tricky with his style.

Great experience.

M. ZEC-PESKIRIC

He will be number 30 on Monday and every and any player he gets to play against is a tremendous learning situaton for him, And he has the advantage of meeting the best early in his career,

It really is a meteoric rise. And he has no where to go this year but up.

Marius_Hancu · Apr 18, 2011

This is his schedule for Tuesday:

http://www.atpworldtour.com/Scores/Order-Of-Play.aspx

PISTA 1 start 10:30 am

D Gimeno-Traver (ESP) vs P Starace (ITA)
[9] R Gasquet (FRA) vs J Chela (ARG)
F Lopez (ESP) vs M Kukushkin (KAZ)
R Stepanek (CZE) vs [15] M Raonic (CAN)

That could easily be 14-15.00 EST
Mind you, not being Center Court, might be not shown at streaming sites.
Let's hope sportsnet.ca will show it.

Right, but the things aren't getting any easier: in Barcelona, to make any progress in rankings he would have at least to win the first 2 rounds.

Marius_Hancu · Apr 23, 2011

Says Tebbutt on Raonic:
---
Watching Milos play Simon Greul on Wednesday night, I was very impressed at how committed he is to his tennis.

He is constantly urging himself on and is hyper competitive. You can just tell how much it means to him.

If you compare him with a player like Ernests Gulbis, the Latvian who comes from a wealthy family and has crazy good ball-striking ability, everything comes out in Raonic's favour.

Gulbis likes hitting bolt ground-stroke winners and clever drop shots, but if he misses, and especially if he loses a match, you don't get the feeling that it really hurts that much.

With Milos, he feels those kinds of disappointments profoundly and uses them to motivate himself. That's a big reason he has such a bright future - he really cares.

The under-achieving Gulbis, 22, has said that he has thought of retiring. That is surely something that you don't expect to hear from Milos, 20, at a comparable stage in his career.

Another thing that was noticeable here in Barcelona was how well he is moving on the clay. Often a big-hitting North American, Andy Roddick and Pete Sampras come to mind, would come over to Europe and it was obvious how uncomfortable they were with the traction they (don't) get on clay compared to hard courts.

Milos doesn't fight it and has readily accepted the challenge of mastering the game on the red clay.

Daniel Nestor has seen it all in 20 years on the tour. He's sold on Milos. "He's playing great. It's a good sign when he's winning matches every week on every surface. I think it's only a matter of time before he really breaks through one week. Hopefully it happens at a Grand Slam. That's where he really wants it because he has already won a (ATP) tournament."

Again not on TV or streamlining, I guess :-[

Great news:

In Madrid Milos plays: F. Lopez, Federer
Let's hope he gets to the grand master

Would be a first and a great experience.

Verdasco seemed very sympathetic and polite to Raonic at the net (making up for poor publicity about his previous remarks?), Retribuive justice that he lost final?

Madrid: Raonic Lopez tomorrow

Raonic Lopez tomorrow

ARANTXA SANCHEZ VICARIO start 2:00 pm
J Del Potro (ARG) vs [13] M Youzhny (RUS) - ATP
M Raonic (CAN) vs F Lopez (ESP) - ATP

Should be streamed (about 9-10 am EST).

pound cat · May 3, 2011

MR lost in a hard played in a very competitive match to Lopez in R1 in Madrid, having got to R 3 in Barcelona,& Monte Carlo, and the semis of Estoril. This is the 4th clay court ATP tournament he has played. And he is barely 20 years old.

Once again Raonic kept his on court focus and demeanor, mature beyond his years, with a big game and huge talent.

pound cat · May 4, 2011

Here's a video of RaonicVolkswagen in Estoril. They game him a book and food, but not a car. LOL

Bet 365 starts Rome on May 9 so there should be streams available on the usual sites I would think. Don't know when sportsnet stream starts.

News from Roland Garros by Tom Tebbutt

How the Canadians and others are doing:
http://www.lovemeansnothing.ca/blog/on-location-from-roland-garros

pound cat · May 22, 2011

Theoreticly TSN is showing RG live. The upside is that they are showing many hours of taped tennis, a Tennis Channel/ESPN? feed as far as I can see. So if you want to see "Live " tennis, don't look at results and watch it on TSN at your leisure both ATP and WTA. They may in fact show really LIVE tennis next week, . RDS is also showing RG.

Of course Livescorehunter is still a great source of live matches. Betting sites like Bet365 aren't showing the slams.

Go/allez/ajmo Milos!

pound cat · May 22, 2011

Anyone who lives in the Ottawa/Montreal region and has access to RDS can get what I think is really live RG .

http://tvlistings.zap2it.com/tv/tennis/EP00110416

But to get matches on more obscure courts go to livescorehunter.com

Marius_Hancu · May 22, 2011

Well, nice and dandy, but will anyone show Milos on RG court 16 tomorrow?

Rebecca Marino on Clay

Read on her from Tom Tebbutt's blog:

MARINO IS CAPABLE ON CLAY
http://www.lovemeansnothing.ca/blog/true-confessions-roger-and-novak

Marius_Hancu · May 25, 2011

Great Result for Rebecca Marino at Roland Garros 2011!

Tom Tebbutt (see the above post) was right:

MARINO IS CAPABLE ON CLAY

2nd round RG:

Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez ESP 6 3 3 v
Rebecca Marino CAN 2 6 6

Great result. Congratulations, Rebecca!

Now she plays Kuznetsova.

Buckethead · May 25, 2011

I like their games.

I guess I like Canadian tennis now.

This result from Rebecca surprised me, because she doesn't move well at all, and HC and grass would suit her better because of how hard she hits, but I hope she keeps going and defeat Kuznetsova as well.

Marius_Hancu · May 25, 2011

Wozniak - Wozniacki

Aleksandra Wozniak loses to #1, but shows serious improvement over the last months.

Raonic might just stick to Halle

On Milos' plans:

----
As for his immediate future, he said he thinks he will stick with his plan to play the ATP grass-court event in Halle, Germany, the week of June 6, rather than potentially asking for a wild card into the Challenger grass-court tournament in Nottingham, England, next week.

http://www.lovemeansnothing.ca/blog/raonic-losing-a-learning-experience

Marius_Hancu · May 26, 2011

Rebecca Marino tomorrow on Court 1!!

Rebecca Marino tomorrow on Court #1!!
This means it will be shown on of the streaming sites:

Women's Singles - 3rd Round

Rebecca Marino(CAN) vs. Svetlana Kuznetsova

Should be around 6.30-7AM EST

http://www.rolandgarros.com/en_FR/scores/schedule/schedule11.html

Tough match.

You can do it, Rebecca, come on!
