2016 Wimbledon Semifinal - [3] Roger Federer vs. [6] Milos Raonic

[Krish0608]

A good stream anybody?

 

[killerboi2]

A TB is upon us.

Who is going to prevail?

Probably Federer. Raonic can't do anything on Federer's serve.

 

[La Grande]

I'm like a broken record. But it's a shame the backhand is so bad. Thank the lord for Roger's slice eh

 

[chjtennis]

Silly boy, why are you trying to overpower the more powerful opponent?

 

[jimjam]

Fed is losing this match at the baseline. He's getting the serves back in no problem. Unexpected...

 

[Aussie Darcy]

That main dude from Mamma Mia the movie who was hot but now not so much is also in the crowd.

 

[joekapa]

For all the beauty in the Federer backhand. It is pretty much useless in a long rally.

 

[Levi_Ackerman]

Federer making all kinds of poor decisions.

 

[rainingaces]

2-1 Raonic.

Tber is massive.

 

[SQA333]

Did Fed hire Ljubicic just so he can have another yes man in his team?

 

[Dilexson]

Dammit Fed, he wastes the precious opportunities where he gets the racquet on the return.

 

[junior74]

Raonic is at 69% 1st serves, avg 130 mph

Federer only 54%

 

[joekapa]

Raonic missing sitters.

 

[Tardigrade]

Raonic can pretty much seal the deal now.

 

[Service Ace]

Feds backhand has been crap all day. When his backhand ain't working it usually doesn't spell good things for his chances of winning

 

[BorisRogerFan]

I'm so confident Fed will pull this off...

 

[SQA333]

Probably Federer. Raonic can't do anything on Federer's serve.

What match are you watching... Fed's 1st serve is poor.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

@Hitman, give us your take so far.

This match doesn't have the quality from either player really. I do feel Raonic is bit vulnerable with his serving now, the one thing in his favor is the overly cautious approach Federer has to these chances, if this was you-know-who, Raonic would have most certianly have been broken. I think Raonic needs to get this done in straights personally, if he somehow loses this set, I think Federer will grow much more in confidence. Again, I think the match is a little flat from both.

Come on rogr

 

[Fedinkum]

At least Milos is not returning like Cilic....

 

[Levi_Ackerman]

only a fool would state the obvious twice!

Well, I stated it thrice. So, I guess I'm not a fool.

 

[augustobt]

Federer with a ridiculous first serve percentage on this set.

 

[Crayola Oblongata]

That main dude from Mamma Mia the movie who was hot but now not so much is also in the crowd.

Hahaha, Dominic Cooper

 

[rainingaces]

3-2 fed. 2 fh errors from milos

 

[La Grande]

Did Fed hire Ljubicic just so he can have another yes man in his team?

"Yes" - Everybody on Federer's team.

 

[heninfan99]

I'm like a broken record. But it's a shame the backhand is so bad. Thank the lord for Roger's slice eh

wish he would slice more for once. esp at meelosh's backhand, nice and low.

 

[joekapa]

He won't go down without a fight. Experience will pull him through this set.

 

[Dartagnan64]

Raonic still too inconsistent with the ground strokes. He's had several second serves in his wheelhouse and netted them.

 

[killerboi2]

What match are you watching... Fed's 1st serve is poor.

And those 2 garbage returns on Fed's 2nd serves might prove me right. It's probably gonna be close either way though.

 

[Dilexson]

Shanks the net again!

 

[chjtennis]

Federer just feeds the ball to Raonic FH as if his giving him a FH practice. Ridiculous.

 

[SQA333]

And those 2 garbage returns on Fed's 2nd serves might prove me right. It's probably gonna be close either way though.

Sure. 1 loose point from Rog

 

[PeteD]

Which is worse, the Dokogrind game or the Milobot game?

 

[Fedinkum]

Rogie is playing very conservative tennis...hummmmmm.

 

[kalyan4fedever]

wake the **** up federer

 

[Levi_Ackerman]

Yup Lily's brother!

Keith's son!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Fed with the mini break!!!

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

Reek (Theon Greyjoy) is in the crowd too!

Are you sure you are not confusing him with Judy Murray?

 

[Service Ace]

Federer fussing with his backhand. Shouldn't be using his wrist on a one hander to create topspin smh

 

[Rock Strongo]

Untimely double fault!

 

[jwjh]

MINIBREAK.

 

[rainingaces]

DF brain cramp.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

He won't go down without a fight. Experience will pull him through this set.

This set is more cruical to Milos than Roger imo, if Roger gets this, I think momentum swing will be too much for Milos.

 

[Dartagnan64]

Big DF.

 

[chjtennis]

OK. You can't give this back now. Go, Roger!

 

[Dilexson]

Break gifted, grab it mate!!

 

[a10best]

might be time for sabr

 

[SQA333]

He'll give it back.

 

[The Green Mile]

DF #6 from Milos. 4-3 Fed.

 

[metsman]

Raonic channeling his inner goran there
