Well...he's already done it once before. Admittedly, that was a Murray in a completely different state of mind with a passive game.
I think the faster surface here will definitely help Milos' serve and thus his chances (as opposed to the slow Arthur Ashe court last month), but it's hard to see anybody beating Murray right now.
Murray has far too much game for Raonic. Just hitting serves is not enough to beat Slamray. Andy has already routined one servebot this tournament and he'll do the same tomorrow.
Andy should win if he plays anywhere near 80%. His game is just too good and too varied for someone as one-dimensional as Raonic.
Andy can win if he plays badly, but Raonic HAS to be near his best to win (and that's assuming Andy is mediocre). If Andy's playing well, Raonic will NOT win.
Andy in straight sets, he is just tough match-up for Raonic, the same was with Karlovic, but Milos has much more game besides serve than Ivo, but still USO was nice example how it will goes, maybe Milos can do better this time, but he will have chances to take Milos´s serve for sure, maybe Milos can take him to tie-break, but that´s it. Andy in 2 sets.
I thought that Milos was mixing in a few new first serves against Tipsy yesterday, and I expect to see him deploy these against Murray, who exploited his previous serving pattern to great effect in their US Open match. Regardless, it should be a good match, Milos in 3.
I have seen just from middle 3rd set to finish, which serves you mean as new? Bodyserves? 1st serve kicker from AD court? Milos already has perfect variety on his serve, what new he was trying? i haven´t seen most of the match so i would love to know.

It's true, Andy is a returnbot. His career hasn't ended yet, so he still has time to fix that.
