Perhaps his financial position plays a role. Plus, he is a household word in many suburbs of the GTA.

GTA? Its weird cause he doesn't seem like a guy who chases after high maintenance women and its one after another. Not even Berdych, Coric, or guys better looking than him have these girls in their box.

Looks like 3 for 3 tie breakers

Raonic is as boring in person as watching him play, which is pretty damn scandalous.

 

[Deleted member 688153]

I

Glad there's someone

 

[BeatlesFan]

Does anybody like Raonic?

Possibly his mother, though probably not.

I don't even know what it is specifically, it's just the whole, um, thing. I feel like I've seen him live quite a bit, he's one guy I end up seeing a lot of by sheer chance in Melbourne. He wins a few matches here typically, that's probably why

 

[Noletheking]

Stan looking good he will lose semi to World greatest player ever

Stan is not in the bottom half , so that would not be possible.

 

[Deleted member 688153]

I'm leaving if there's anyone on the grounds who wants the ticket?

What ? Not watching Stan - Rao ?

 

[Noletheking]

Against Cilic and post prime Dal in a decade? come to me when he beats Nole in hardcourt slam again after a decade.

 

[Deleted member 688153]

Suspended now, and honestly Milos was putting me to sleep

Well it's better than losing to Istomin and staying home feeling sorry for yourself the next time now isn't it

 

[junior74]

Getting up at 05:30 to watch some Stan and it rains

Nopne doubted his ability to beat tier2 players that's why i called him 2003-2007 era champion.
