Going at least four sets now.

Go Vasek...

I just can't find it in me to root for Treebeard.

pace has picked up too 1:42 time elapsed through 2 sets

15-40, Milos hits a 138 MPH serve up the tee and follows it up with a 135 MPH serve out wide. Deuce.

Just my opinion, but Milos is still the best bet for a Canadian male grand slam title.

Then we're doomed.

if the field is cleared lol

Then we're doomed.

Currently - I have high hopes for Felix and Denis, but they still are a couple of years away from being real contenders.

If somebody can take out Djoker, Milos would have a real shot at the title.

They would be the realistic hope.

Can't see Bigfoot beating somebody who can move in a final.

This was a concern five, maybe three years ago, but he moves a lot better than he used to. Also, his backhand is much improved from what it used to be. The biggest concern with Milos is the ability to stay healthy.

He's still a slug. Have never liked him.

Really impressive stuff from both guys when they have been facing break points and coming up with huge serves to bail them out of trouble.

Yeah, I know. Time for a new needle, the record is stuck.

It's OK if you like him, I simply don't. It is allowed you know.

Sure, that's fine, I don't have a problem with you not liking him, I just think you're not recognizing the improvements he's made in his game because you want to stick with the narrative that he's a big-footed sloth who can't move. It's funny, you talk to people who aren't Canadians who are tennis fans and they are very complimentary of Milos, maybe it's a Canadian thing where we tend to eat our own

 

[dash]

By the way, I'm pretty sure you were the one who was predicting a Isner-type slide down the rankings for Milos. How has that panned out?

Possibly. I've never rooted for the V-Town Canucks either.
