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

[StanTheMan]

Just took 8/1 on Federer before the hold

You're gonna be a rich man soon

 

[kalyan4fedever]

Fed has not made any clutch passes today...may be one or two...

I am so ****ing disappointed right now investing so much time and energy to see him win and he squandered match just like that

 

[cc0509]

no, you are the one being pathetic here, trying to pretend to be "neutral" ..

federer first let raonic in that game by DF twice ..it was only after that that raonic raised his level.

fed was the better player in the set until then ..

Who won the first set? I'm a huge Federer fan but I told you guys yesterday that Raonic should not be underestimated.

 

[sbengte]

Unlucky. If he was in 2014,2015 form he would have won this tournament comfortably

I've repeated this ad nauseum. He is extremely unlucky in that he didn't have the draw open up when he was fit the last two years and when it finally did this year, he is in no physical shape to capitalize.

 

[Fedinkum]

There is no magic today from the RF97...

 

[malbaker86]

This match is not even over yet TTW. Give up that easily?

it's over

 

[3fees]

Milos 5-2

The best part about Sundays final is that the British Grand Prix will be on at the same time.

 

[augustobt]

I cannot believe this match. I cannot believe.

 

[The Green Mile]

Milos one game away now.

 

[mandy01]

I don't understand these FH misses by Fed. Seems like the ball doesn't have much on it, not so fast, he's there in time, yet he puts it in the net, why?

He's doubting himself. Doubting every aspect of his game right now. I just hope the fall didn't hurt him.

 

[Sela]

Raonic being Raonic, I can still see Federer squeezing past a mouse hole

 

[kishnabe]

Damm, Federer really blew this.

Hopefully Berdych can take care of Murray so we can get a new slam winner.

 

[Cortana]

Please Berdych. You can do it too.

 

[VamosBamos987]

Is this the end of the road for the GOAT

 

[Tennis wizard]

Murray must be a really happy man right now

Unlucky. If he was in 2014,2015 form he would have won this tournament comfortably

Definitely not in 2014 form...in 2015 form maybe...but he still might have found some way to blow it. But his chances would be good

 

[killerboi2]

I am so ****ing disappointed right now investing so much time and energy to see him win and he squandered match just like that

Did he squander it or was it his injury?

 

[abmk]

Who won the first set? I'm a huge Federer fan but I told you guys yesterday that Raonic should not be underestimated.

who the frickin' hell is talking about the first set ? yeah , raonic won that, so what ? fed was up 2 sets to one ...and blew the 4th set ..

 

[BorisRogerFan]

Johnny Mac is the greatest ball of ****

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Such a great opportunity to win another slam gone down the drain. Seems like he got so comfortable up 2-1 and raonic got confident with each game

 

[speedysteve]

I don't understand these FH misses by Fed. Seems like the ball doesn't have much on it, not so fast, he's there in time, yet he puts it in the net, why?

Timing due to fatigue and some hurt in there too.

 

[crocon]

I feel empty inside.

 

[Dilexson]

Raonic won't choke this, he's earned this man. Those second serves, 131mph!

 

[sbengte]

Just shows that no slam is easy.

Definitely not so at 35. Even luck can't help you if your body isn't holding up.

 

[cc0509]

Nerves will gift Murray a couple of breaks in the first set and I don't think there's any doubt from that point. If Chokerer can go virtual match points up on Raonic, Murray will roll over his serves like no tomorrow.

Also the Time On court stat is firmly in Andy's favour

I think Murray will win the title but I think Raonic should have his chances. He's played Murray close.

 

[Noleberic123]

Definitely not in 2014 form...in 2015 form maybe...but he still might have found some way to blow it. But his chances would be good

2014 would have won this easily as well. Omly Djokovic was good enough to stop him.

 

[SQA333]

I cannot believe this match. I cannot believe.

Classic Federer choke. He reminds us that he isn't actually mentally tough.

Also how fitting that having lucked out on second serves @ MP against Cilic, he burns himself while in a winning position in this match.

 

[Service Ace]

Federer is done winning slams unfortunately. He's age is on full display like Venus' was yesterday.

 

[PrinceMoron]

The 2016 champion is warming up

 

[ForumMember]

Federer is looking old.

 

[Chanwan]

Don't give up hope just yet mate. I have a feeling there'll be a twist to come in this 5th set.

no twists

 

[chjtennis]

I don't understand these FH misses by Fed. Seems like the ball doesn't have much on it, not so fast, he's there in time, yet he puts it in the net, why?

I think his leg(quad muscle) was cramping. Looks like the cramp is now gone though. Also, he must be so tired.

 

[BorisRogerFan]

Fed is gonna turn around this hard ****, guys!

 

[metsman]

I've repeated this ad nauseum. He is extremely unlucky in that he didn't have the draw open up when he was fit the last two years and when it finally did this year, he is in no physical shape to capitalize.

he's not some mug trying to win his first major. Djokovic was far from unbeatable, but Federer shied away and played nervously. He could have had better luck with the draw but it it mostly his fault he doesn't have another major.

 

[kalyan4fedever]

If federer LOSES, end of wimbledon and I will never see a federer match ever again

 

[Tennisanity]

Ummm, where was this kind of play when he needed it?????????

 

[La Grande]

Such contrast to his destruction of Andy Murray in last years semi finals.

 

[SQA333]

federer is gonna fight tooth and nail till the end at least. He has nothing yet gutted out a hold there. Something the pathetic haters will never understand.

What's the point when Raonic will hold to love.

 

[Fedinkum]

How did he loses that 40-00 game....

 

[speedysteve]

Okay, how's the Milos nerve then?

 

[Crayola Oblongata]

France better win on Sunday.

 

[FedEx23]

I am so ****ing disappointed right now investing so much time and energy to see him win and he squandered match just like that

that's sports. you have to be ready for more downs than ups.

 

[LinePainter]

He's not choking. He's being outplayed plain and simple. Some of you guys are pathetic, seriously.

5-6, 40-0. He's got to get to the tiebreak, especially with his serve.
Raonic has played at a very high level though, all props to him.

 

[sbengte]

Luck finally smiled on Andy Murray since he has been giving himself chances getting to the final. No Djoko to stop him, even Fed stopping him in the final would be doubtful at best.

 

[killerboi2]

Let's see if you can step up now Raonic.

 

[The Green Mile]

Here we go. Milos serving for the best win of his Career.

 

[cc0509]

who the frickin' hell is talking about the first set ? yeah , raonic won that, so what ? fed was up 2 sets to one ...and blew the 4th set ..

But Raonic also started to play better again. Come on guys, don't be sore losers.

 

[joekapa]

Incredible match from Raonic. I have clear that Federer wasted his chances in the 4th set, but Milos did not fold and resisted like a man. Props to him even if at the end is not enough for the win

Yep, props to Milos for remaining steady. Probably the only thing he can take from this game. Keeping his cool.

 

[Levi_Ackerman]

Raonic not even bothering. He's just preparing to serve this out. What really gets me is that some how people will give McEnroe the credit for this. And if they don't, McEnroe will claim it for himself.

Also, a McEnroe-Lendl final. Lendl finally gets to beat McEnroe at Wimbledon. Poetic.

 

[Ironwood]

Looks like Milos is just letting this game go to get the serve back
