Milos Raonic finally beats Roger Federer, into Paris Masters semifinals - ESPN

Its good to see the young guys stepping up, but that may have cost Roger the number 1 ranking.

i like raonic a lot, though i think his lack of top 10 movement will keep him from ever winning a major like so many are hoping for.

good for him for beating fed.

fed was a longshot for #1 anyway (as or right now, I believe he's 800 pts behind nole), and I don't think that's a big priority for him. hoping this gives the old man some extra rest/prep time for the year end tourney.

I agree.

...a very big longshot! Nole has it nailed down! It's not like he's going to drop 3 RR matches in London next week! That's more likely to happen to Nadal who might be "cycling off" PED's! Djokovic is at his best this time of the year the last few seasons and there's no reason he should take his 4th title without losing a match!

Good for Milos. Hoping he wins a major within the next year or 2.
