That's kinda the key of every Raonic match ever, isn't it?Sinner vs Raonic.
The key to the match is how Sinner deals with the Raonic serve, with that said 7-6 7-6 to Sinner.
Ruu is the superior player - but his issue has always been mental fortitude down the stretch. Can he get it done in a big match (for him, it certainly is) in a "hostile" environment? Not so sure...Emil and Tallon on serve, match not ignited .... yet
He brought Med on his knees in a BO5 Match. If you can do that you've got tennis. It's a litmus testRuu is the superior player - but his issue has always been mental fortitude down the stretch. Can he get it done in a big match (for him, it certainly is) in a "hostile" environment? Not so sure...
DF Ruu serving at 5-5 BP.... i get your pointRuu is the superior player - but his issue has always been mental fortitude down the stretch. Can he get it done in a big match (for him, it certainly is) in a "hostile" environment? Not so sure...
He is certainly keeping up the momentum gained. He'll never be a favourite of mine, but I respect his efforts.The demon with another quality win this year. Takes out rublev in three.
De Minaur just lifted himself into the #9 spot in the live rankings with his win. Alex looking in better form than Grigor right now, so I feel he is the more likely winner in their SF. However, Dimitrov may find his best in the next roundHe is certainly keeping up the momentum gained. He'll never be a favourite of mine, but I respect his efforts.
Pleased to see Grigor through. I'm impressed with his demeanour and willingness to trade blows when needed, as well as displaying his beautiful game when he can. I'd like him to win the title but alas, it is unlikely.
Tallon / Emil in a closely fought tussle here. Can Emil take the 2nd set and even it up?
Didn't he take out Fred at W once?Lol Raomug starts it off with a bomb at 233...
Sure did, on his way to world n. 3 - a ranking Sinner can claim in a few days if he wins the event (and will claim in any case within a couple of weeks, given Med's withdrawal from Dubai).Didn't he take out Fred at W once?
He rectified the error the next year.Sure did, on his way to world n. 3 - a ranking Sinner can claim in a few days if he wins the event (and will claim in any case within a couple of weeks, given Med's withdrawal from Dubai).
Those were Milos' Piatti days, and long before his multi-year cheeseburger hiatus.
Still, Fed choked away that one badly _for a change.
Many FH UFE ... something is wrongSinner hasnt been hitting a very clean ball in rotterdam
He plays perfect within his possibilities tactically spot onJust looked at the score and somewhat surprised to see set points for Raonic. I guess he must be back to playing well!
Can't wait for Sinner match, he will destroy the boring serve bot Raomug.
