As if Raonic' serve wasn't dangerous enuff, his FH is killer.

The Raonic serve just doesn't seem fair. :shock:

Why would you say that?
He's playing a Grand Slam champion. Everybody needs to have their weapons.

LOL. Can't have everything.
Remember how MAndy's hair appeared while he was winning the USO?

He ... does that.
He's actually yelling at the air. The crowd just happened to be in the way.

How about that BH low-volley by Raonic, going short crosscourt?
R is better on both 1st and 2nd returns for the time being.

Not gunna lie, I'm impressed by how much Raonic is going for his backhands now instead of just running around it

And as i type that post, Raonic hits an insane backhand return winner

How about that running FH from Raonic, a la Sampras?
R takes 1st set.

lol I can't take this anymore. You are constantly comparing Raonic to Sampras. I know you have to be joking you can't possibly think Raonic is anything special.

Yeah man the dude has improved. Making some of the points against Murray look almost too easy.

Milos has always said Sampras was his idol, and he works hard.
Also, I'm not so sure it's that he's constantly getting lucky so much as it's that he's been practicing his placement.
Where have you been?

On his returns when Murray hits a good serve, Raonic hits the ball way up in the air and it somehow lands in every time.

Only lately has he been this aggressive, in Pete's style.
Clearly he;s doing more than just puffing it and being lucky that it lands in. Murray is the world number 3: you think he wouldn't be able to absolutely destroy moonball returns?

"stunning tennis again"
say the Brit commentators about R
great slice approach down the line for 2-1

Ok there noob. What do you think Andy is doing to the 130's out wide? Floating them back. Just stop trolling, go post somewhere else.

Semi-Pro
Or maybe, being a professional tennis player with a professional coach, he has been working on that slice and has slowly been improving it so it only hits the next every 8/10, or 7/10, and it's showing...
People who play tennis for a living tend to practice tennis.

Brit commentators "he has been a rock, Raonic"
"and the Tour needs someone like him, to come to the net"
"he can do so much more than banging those serves; BH looking top draw this afternoon"

I am a Murray fan but I gotta say, besides the huge serve and forehand, Raonic maybe has the best hands at the net I have seen on a "tall" guy. i.e. 6'5" and up.
