Wow, what a break by Milos to force a 5th set.

trainer out for Feds? momentum busting or legit injury struggle?

Incredible from Raonic. I thought he had resigned himself to a "good showing" or maybe was just holding out for the tiebreaker, but that last game was incredible. The two double faults helped, but Raonic still played some incredible points.

trainer for feds again

Feds needs to take a shit break too after that Raonic break

If Milos holds on here it's 100% because of that dump, and it'll be the most impressive thing he's ever done - I don't think I could take a shit in 5 minutes under that kinda pressure.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Well done, Milos.

John McEnroe be like

Pressure is the key Really helps move things along.


Well done Milos ! Only caught parts of the game but he looked very much the equal of Fed today.

The only downer is that I'm going on vacation for a week starting tomorrow and I'm going to miss the Wimbledon final.

If Milos pulls this off on Sunday, it will top Mike Weir winning the Masters in my opinion.

agreed ... was there real sentiment after Weir won that it was the beginning of something great ??? I say no ... it could certainly be for Milos

There is a Canadian in the gentlemen's singles, boys singles, and guaranteed at least one Canadian in the boys doubles. Neato.

I agree that it will be bigger but Weir was generating a lot of excitement. He followed up his win at Augusta with a T3 at the US Open that year and another top 10 at the PGA. He reached 3rd in the world rankings. He certainly was looking like he was going to be a mainstay among the game's best.

I think plenty of pundits thought that Weir had another major in him. The came the winemaking and all the other business engagements that eroded his practice schedule and then came the injuries.

Milos vs. Andy on Sunday as Andy just took out Berdych in straight sets (6-3 6-3 6-3)

Murray is playing great tennis. Milos will be in tough on Sunday. Should be a doozy.

Milos will need to stay aggressive and keep the points short, I think Andy Murray is the guy with best movement on tour (yes, even better than Joker) and he will want to make the match as physically draining as possible.
