OT: The Tennis thread

Good news: Milos beats Kohlschreiber in straight sets to get the round of 16
Bad news: He meets Federer next.

gotta admit, I kinda dig the logo

Should be an interesting David Cup tie with Spain coming up - Espana are missing some key guys and Canada could pull an upset if Milos is on his game.

Milos dropped the first set in a tie-break, but came roaring back in the 2nd
1 for 10 on break points, Ramos has yet to have a break point.

I'm watching it right now - He's keeping Ramos in the match with too many unforced errors. If he cleans it up, he'll be fine.

Make that 2-for-16 on break points for Milos - Raonic serving to take a 2-1 sets lead.

Milos Raonic, serving machine. Wow.

 

[puckhead]

3rd break for Milos.
with his service game, you don't need many!

woot!! Milos closes it out in style with an ace (only 224 kms/hr)

 

[puckhead]

whoa - Dancevik up a break early in the 2nd match
this would be a heck of a bonus.


wins first set 6-1.
closes on 3 straight aces.

Just won the second set 6-2 - Never seen Dancevic play better.

Match point for Dancevic - Crazy!

woot!! Way to go Frankie!!

This needs to be put into perspective (I mean Spain is missing Nadal, Ferrer, and Almagro), but still, nobody expected Dancevic to win today.
