[Tennease]

CLassic FH volley cc winner by Raonic to seal the match!!!!! ANother UPSET.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

[sredna42]

Zverev deserved to lose. Go play on the WTA.

I heard a story (probably apocryphal) of two men that played a tour level match that went around 11 hours and took place over three days.

I think it was Tomic vs Niemenen.

God the people in this thread are stupid. Raonic is playing well = Zverev being garbage is what's happening.
Zverev plays well = Raonic is being a mug.

Are you people just incapable of understanding when there is GOOD tennis? Jesus.

This post is supreme sarcasm, right? What I saw: Milos playing great, Zverev playing like crap most of the match. And just when Milos was on the verge of winning, he took his foot off the gas, and let Zverev keep his serve while playing really badly. Is that not what you saw?

Anyway, thank god this is over, I could not take much more of this. Congrats Raonic!

Trash

GSM Raonic. Bit dicey at the end, but an altogether terrible performance from Zverev, and a solid one from Raonic.

 

[tennisfan2015]

Milos just smiled for a second.

 

[tennisjedi]

And Zverevs slam struggles continue.

 

[reaper]

why the friggin hell doesn't zed step around one of those slow motion slices to just rip an inside out forehand ?

Because he would miss it.

 

[NoleFam]

Well played by Raonic. He should have got it done at 5-4 but played a decent tiebreak to take it.

Congrats to Milos blnt Alex,, almost a carbon copy of Nadal Berdych match

[alexio]

same story as berdych..leading in the tie-break and choke since then

 

[Tennease]

Yet another reason why Canada is the best country in the universe

 

[Deon Sanders]

Everyone waiting for Zed to be good in slams

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Milos v Zverev 61,61,76,

Nadal vs. Berdych: 6-0, 6-1, 7-6 - this was a rerun! (;

 

[MarcusInKensington]

MILOSH IS THE FUTURE OF MENS TENISS!!

 

[King No1e]

Finished in classic Raonic style.
What a performance. What a player.
Surely this is a sign of good things to come.
Kyrgios, Wawrinka, and now Zverev.

 

[Midaso240]

Absolute lesson from Raonic on how to play grand slam tennis,hopefully Zverev doesn't learn and improve from this...

 

[Alba Barragan]

 

[King No1e]

MILOSH IS THE FUTURE OF MENS TENISS!!

He's like 27, but still hopefully got a couple Slams in him

 

[Harry_Wild]

I guess my pick of three straight for Raonic was right!

[I Am Finnish]

Unbeleeble

 

[pikku05]

Lol Zverev..Well done Milo's..

 

[Steve0904]

I saw him clapping once. For Ivan that's like getting all out of control emotionally.

Skip to 2:30.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Milos just smiled for a second.

Lendl’s not smiling.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Congrats #ABZ

 

[Terenigma]

Perfection.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Still no slam SF for Zverev who’s currently #3 in the live rankings.

What a joke.

 

[KohlschreiberFan]

Really enjoying Raonic's play. I hope he can stay healthy and put together a great season.

Yet another reason why Canada is the best country in the universe

Why do people from Canada always have a need to say that?

 

[marc45]

feels like Tsitsi has passed Zverev despite Z's accomplishments

 

[EadTTR]

CLassic FH volley cc winner by Raonic to seal the match!!!!! ANother UPSET.

Remind me how many top 20 players have Zverev beat in slams

 

[MarcusInKensington]

Zverev is the new Dimitrov.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Has there ever been another player besides Zverev who plays great in best of 3 but can't handle best of 5 matches?

 

[NoleFam]

Zverev will be 22 at the next Slam. Fedalovic all had not only had a Slam by then, but Djokodal had multiple Slam SF and Finals. Zverev just may not be the force in Slams that everybody thought he would be. He only one has one Slam QF although he has Masters and a WTF. That's a worrying sign.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Zverev will still jump to #3 in the world despite yet again failing to make a slam QF in Melbourne. #3 in the world with no slam SF and just one slam QF in his career..

 

[Harry_Wild]

Sometimes, you just not feeling it to go out and play a GS match! Zverev seem to have a day like that!

 

[flyingboris]

I like how quickly this becomes background noise to the ballkid

 

[tennisfan2015]

Zverev is the new Dimitrov.

Just was going to say the same

 

[Midaso240]

Still no slam SF for Zverev who’s currently #3 in the live rankings.

What a joke.

I remember when Milos got criticized for being #3 with no current title to his name,at least he could perform at the slams though

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Zverev will still jump to #3 in the world despite yet again failing to make a slam QF in Melbourne. #3 in the world with no slam SF and just one slam QF in his career..

Am I correct in thinking this will mean that Djokovic will play Federer in semi-finals and theoretically Nadal would play Zverev (if he ever makes it that far)?

 

[Midaso240]

Zverev will be 22 at the next Slam. Fedalovic all had not only had a Slam by then, but Djokodal had multiple Slam SF and Finals. Zverev just may not be the force in Slams that everybody thought he would be. He only one has one Slam QF although he has Masters and a WTF. That's a worrying sign.

Forget those giants of the game,he has yet to show he can be a bigger threat in a slam than guys like Carreno Busta or RBA,just forget about him as a slam winner until he shows he can beat even mid-tier guys in a slam...

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Is the winner of Coric vs. Pouille the next opponent for Raonic?
