Love when Milos shows up and plays this sort of tennis against the big guys, win or lose. Shuts the haters up, if only momentarily.

See, that's the part I don't even understand. Why would he even have haters?
He's a nice guy, he works hard, he already has championships.

Are people really that bored?

People seem to have a thing against having a great serve. Apparently it's "boring" and he isn't a "real tennis player". Except that having a great serve is no different than having a great forehand - one go-to weapon.

I can also kind of understand people rebelling against the hype - it's how I feel about Justin Bieber. :twisted:

He's tall and doofy and needs a haircut is the reason I don't like him.

Now I know you;'re just trolling us. Either that or you are just simply a horrible judgemental person. Do you hate everyone who happens to have the "tall" genes? Or everyone who inherits a certain hairstyle from their parents?

Are you short? :shock:

Also, if you are going to snark on Milos' hair I hope you were not a Roger fan circa US Open 2008. The Maestro played some very nice tennis but he needed a haircut so bad he looked like the dog Beethoven from that terrible movie.

Go Milos!

This matchup must be every haters wet dream, ball machine vs pong.

Murray 3 points away from taking this to a 3rd set...

Extremely impressed by the play of Raonic tonight, but as I've said in the past we only see it every once in awhile. The consistency still isn't there.

Raonic should have just hit a backhand. Needs to trust it in those big moments to take it to the next level. Playing a good match though. He will probably make top 10 next year

Pretty quality tennis from Murray at the end there. We have a match!

We certainly do.

This reminds me of how he woke up halfway through the US Open final.

Interesting quirk in his psychology ...

Come on, Milos! Don't you fold now! MAndy won the last time!

I must say I'm a little disgusted at Andy Murray's antics. The guy acts like such a brat out on court. It's really disrespectful to the opponent, I guess winning the Us Open didn't teach him any manners :/

Murray starts swearing and throwing tantrums every single time he misses a shot.....even when his opponent hits a winner/ace.

Such an unlikable person.

With that said, he totally threw away the break. Has the chance to blast a winner.....he chooses to end the point with a dropper.

i'll tell you what's his problem:
he cannot hide the fact that he thinks he's above all other players (the fact itself might be true or not),
BUT-he acts like he has the right to behave as he does (together with his body language), and that's the thing that just make him look unattractive. Federer might be arrogant but he has class behavior. if fed would have behaved like Murray i'm less people would have liked him.

*Raonic blasts ace, umpire calls score, 10 seconds go by....then Murray decides to challenge*

*Murray hits serve, Raonic hits it long and immediately challenges, Murray utters "this is bulls**t"*

Absolutely loathsome behavior by this guy.

C'mon folks, who is going to say that they aren't finding this to be an compelling and intriguing match? Kudos to both players for giving the fans some entertainment value. That's what it's all about.

I think it's great. They're pretty evenly matched.

if Raonic will show that his mental side is improving in these last games, that's an excellent sign, even if he loses.
