Roger Federer vs Milos Raonic

[Logicallylethal]

Fed has been on his game in this tourney. Raonic's big serve gives him a puncher's chance, but I think it plays into Fed's all around game.

Fed in 4 sets

Raonic is in trouble. He needs this match in 4 and all of the sets that he wins need to be in a tiebreaker

 

[bksballer89]

He's giving this 2nd set to Fed

LoyallyLethal, Fed needs to win in as short of a match as possible, otherwise he may be toast against Djokovic who himself is somewhat drained from the last two matches but is younger.

Raonic can't get a first serve in

Match is over

Yes. As Federer himself said before the start of Wimbledon he is playing as good as anyone and has a very high chance of lifting the trophy. He may be right. But I am saying Novak is as steady they come.

Did Raonic even have a break point opportunity yet? His return game is so poor today

What a terrible match

If you aren't gonna be able to get into return games, you have to have a ton of mental toughness to avoid a letdown on you service games. It didn't happen today. Milos pretty much handed Fed a break in each set, and that was all he needed.

nice to see fed win.

raonic has a great serve, but needs a lot of work in every other part of his game. he's not good at net, and can't back up that serve from the baseline against top 5 opponents. i think the low bounce on the grass is actually harder for him, and expect him to do just as well at the US Open eventually.

i really like nole in the final. nobody has had a good enough game off the ground to bother fed's backhand yet, but nole can definitely break it down.

i'd love to see fed win, though. i just don't think it's possible for him to win another major off of grass, and holding the record (8) for wimbledon titles would be wonderful.

I think he had two in the 1st set, his only two.

FED did seem to serve down the middle a little more this match, than I remembered in earlier matches this tourney.
