Stan "The Man" Wawrinka did it again!

^^^ Pretty good. Could be an interesting match. Rosol was onto the right tactics, serve volleying or generally staying up in the court to take advantage of Wawrinka's chip returns. But he missed too many first serves and was generally not controlled enough to execute it. Raonic might do a better job and def has a bigger serve than Rosol.

I didnt catch Raonic's match today, but I did watch his previous one. Raonic looks a lot fitter, is moving better, and is volleying better than ever before.

Wawa vs Raonic should be a really good match, but I would give the edge to Stan in 4.

He played the best match i've seen him play in a long time. You're right his volleys are much improved and is definitely moving around the court better. His backhand slice was also looking good, Stan is going to have his hands full!

One slice in particular that I caught in the highlights was simply exquisite. From way out of court, he sort of went around the net to open up a DTL angle and hit a winner. Of course, you can do that all exhibitionism against sleepy Troicki. Will he get the time to pull off such great slices against Wawrinka? Remains to be seen. Nevertheless, a match up that's tantalising at least on paper.
