Also, Tomic hasn't done himself any favo(u)rs in the past with his on-court behavior (quitting during matches). Here's an example (notice how Tomic is holding his racket on match point):

Albert Ramos-Vilonas it is (he won a 5 set marathon over Rublev).

Milos looks sharp in dispatching Ramos-Vilonas in straight sets. Likely will face Alex Zverev next which will be a tough test.

Raonic plays tomorrow in one of the early games. 10:30 AM is what it says unsure of it's that EST or here in Newfoundland which is an hour and a half ahead of Eastern.

Raonic will play at 10-10:30 AM EST is the start. A win today would get him into the quarters.

Upset alert - Nadal is trailing two sets to love to Gilles Muller.

/Milos currently down a set and a break to Alex Zverev.

Raonic bounced back to win set 2 vs. Zverev. Hopefully builds some momentum.

Nice thing about breaking Zverev to win set 2 is that he starts set 3 on his serve. Come on Milos!

Milos will have to go the distance as Zverev takes the third set 6-4.

No tie-breaker in the 5th set at Wimbledon means we might be here a while.

Milos with a break to take a 3-1 lead in set 5.

Another break for Milos and serving for the match up 5-1.

Pretty nice fight from Milos today, of course his reward for winning a tough 5 setter is King Roger.

Meanwhile, Rafa Nadal and Gilles Muller are tied 9-9 in their fifth set.
