OT: The Tennis thread

Not sure if this rain delay will help Milos (maybe a pep talk from Johnny Mac is just the ticket). Down two sets to love, but up a break in set 3 to Goffin.

Hope he can pull off the comeback, serving at 4-3 in the 4th.

We're going to a 5th and deciding set. Only bummer is that there is no tie-breaker, but clearly momentum is with Milos.

Milos breaks Goffin to take a 3-2 lead in set 5. If he can hold serve the rest of the way, the match is his.

One more service hold Milos to complete an epic comeback from two sets down.

Woot! Milos defeats Goffin 4-6 3-6 6-4 6-4 6-4. Fantastic comeback.

While you never want to go down two sets, I think for Raonic this couldn't have turned out better. It will help build his confidence.

Now to make sure he doesn't overlook Querrey who is playing really well.

I heard this result will be overturned because Goffin runs faster. Stay tuned folks!!

Milos beats the guy who beat Djok.

Milos > Djok.

lol - Yup, it's official.

/That was some pretty nice tennis from Milos today, he awaits the winner of Fed and Cilic who are going to a 5th and deciding set.

So, Milos versus Fed on Friday, I'm like Bart Scott, can't wait.

Should be a good one. It would be great to see Milos make it to (and hopefully win) a GS final.

On the other hand I won't be terribly upset if Roger wins one more for the road. One of my all-time favourites.

I pretty much feel the same way. I know I'm dating myself, but I was a huge Bjorn Borg fan as a kid and Roger is like a present day Borg as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Dacks]

Ya, I want Raonic to win, but regardless, I hope the winner of Feds/Milos wins the whole thing.

Coach Q is quite the tennis player

Federer takes the second set tiebreak and it's 1-1.

Weird game as Milos fucks up three forehands (something he's got one of the best of) and then double-faults.

Pretty sure Milos just took a shit. Should help.

I wonder if the chance to go up 2 sets against Federer rattled Raonic a bit. After saving triple set point at 4-5 I thought he would take the tiebreaker for sure.

I do like that Raonic seems to be dictating play.

Well, that was a big hold from 15-40 down, that could have been the match right there.
