What a forehand slice
It's good to see Milos calm and collected but I'd just like to see a little more fire from him, some emotion. His matches are actually pretty dull to watch.
Who??...........
This is how I learned to post pictures here. It is very easy...

Oh, I wouldn't mind at all if Milos ended up having even half the success of Pete but don't forget they ended up changing the courts and the balls just trying to put a little excitement into the game after the era of Pete and the other big servers.So were Pete's ...and look what happened with him
You know, if they're going to have Betthauer commentate on Canada's matches in Davis Cup ties, you'd think he might learn how to pronounce the star of the Canadian team's name. It's not Ray-oh-nich you twonk. :evil:
999 posts.... this should have been number 1,000
Benneteau has picked it up and is giving Milos quite a scrap. Raonic is going to have to stay tough.
Raonic is playing this match like a top 5 player would...which I expect him to be by next year, if not in 2012.
Combination of atheticism and brainpower, He's got it all, and that's what makes a champion.
GO Mil0s.
Let's not get carried away. :lol: Those guys at the top that he'd have to displace are not too shabby and I don't think Milos is quite there yet. If he could get into the mid-teens next year I'd consider that pretty good. Wonder what number Galo put into his envelope for this year.

This whole number in the envelope story is an old one. They've been talking about it since last summer and they both revealed their numbers were in the top 50 which was pretty brash considering where he was ranked a year earlier. Galo always hinted that he expected good results from Milos so I'm not surprised he had 31.I think it is BS that Blanco had 31 in the envelope....too many factors for that to come out right.
Well, he's got results to defend now which puts more pressure on him to keep his ranking up. On the other hand, because of his injury and surgery, he has none from hard court season so he should be able to rack up quite a few there. I think they'd be pretty happy if he could get to top 15. Top 10 might be a stretch but not out of the realm of possibility. IMO.Milos has a half season free to work his way into top fifteen!

pound cat said:In Montreal I asked Bob Benetaur where the washrooms were not knowing who he was. He told me. I wish he learned to pronounce MR's name correctly though.
Not really. Bettauer is a nobody so I really don't care how his name is spelled. If a reporter was writing his name wrong in a newspaper I might think you have a point as it would call the reporter's professionalism into question. Bettauer calling a star's name incorrectly in audio media when he's supposed to be a professional is pretty mickey mouse.You'd think that two guys whining about how Robert Bettauer pronounces Raonic's name would at least know how to spell his name correctly.
As the Aussies would say, I was just taking a **** mate.
I didn't really go out on a limb, but just as I called it!Pospisil is going to get beatdown by Tsonga, but Raonic can definitely beat Benneteau.
If this happens, regardless of who wins the doubles match Saturday between Nestor/Pospisil and Llodra/Benneteau, the first Sunday match should be an awesome one, featuring Raonic vs Tsonga.
Pospisil's game was very weak yesterday & I would like to see Raonic /Neator play doubles. Raonic's serve would be a huge factor toward a win, and he is a good doubles player and a huge (literally) at net. If they win Sunday will require only 1 win. Then bingo.
Playing doubles is not tiring like playing a singles game is.

Weird decision, both Pospisil and Dancevic are better doubles players than Milos. Not to mention that Nestor has never played with Milos.I guess the rationale is that they feel "power doubles" can win this. I'm not convinced...
