See a physiatrist.

becker started out well enough, but was resigned to defeat after tasting the chairman’s power.

Who is the highest ranked played Raonic has played in Memphis and San Jose?

See a physiatrist.

He's joking dumbfuck.

Raonic is untouchable on serve :eek: 40 service games played this tournament so far, 40 held.
Weird end, hit an ace, Becker challenged, was out and hit his second serve in the net.

Amazing that he defended all of his points from last year. Only this time it's been much easier, no lost sets.

Kevin Anderson at 35.

Strong event :lol:

milos :bowdown:

3 finals out of last 4 tournaments - yes pretty weak fields but he's getting it done, and that right easily. Impressive. He'll be mainstay in the top 20 before long.

lost serve once yesterday against Rochus

Damnit I believed the commentator :o sorry for not double checking.

Kevin Anderson at 35.

LOL amd Melzer is ranked 38. So Raonic can win 750 points in 2 weeks without facing a top 30. That's more points than for a GS semifinal. :cuckoo:

:bigclap: 1 win away from winning back to back titles! Such a clean match from Milos, super!

Damnit I believed the commentator :o sorry for not double checking.

The commmentator said 40 out of 41.

Way to go, Milos! http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-dance013.gifhttp://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-dance013.gifhttp://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-dance013.gif

What a shame that Memphis has ATP status.

That's intelligent choosing of which tournaments to play. ;)

AND I'm a lousy listener.

:lol::rolleyes::lol:

He faced lower ranked players cause plenty of higher ranked players bowed out early.

:facepalm:
Well organised rather. Both there and in San Jose event directors arranged his way to the finals.

not Milos's fault that Isner lost to Melzer and Roddick lost early last two tournaments :shrug:

Criticising a player for smart scheduling that will help him gain points....interesting...

yup, they deliberately had Roddick/Harrison lose so Raonic can get to the finals. Nice logic!

Raonic is having an easy ride on serve but his stats returning have hardly been impressive. If he's so serve reliant against the quality of players he's faced at San Jose & Memphis I think he'll have a lot more trouble in Indian Wells. A good returner could catch him out in a service game or grab a tiebreak and it looks like Milos would have to mainly hope he's gifted breaks rather than earning them.

And to those who think this "variety" is good - the crowd response to the match says it all about how attractive it is. Ace. Unreturnable. Ace. DF. 2 shot rally. Ace. Really hope Melzer brings his quality returning tomorrow - Milos would have deserved the title if he wins it but I'd feel happier for Melzer to get the much needed 500 points than Milos & his serve.

Can pretty much a serve alone get you Masters & Slams? (Yes Milos is not Karlovic but his groundstrokes are way outside the top 30 IMO) - I think 2012 will give us the answer to this question as Isner & Raonic try to make their move....

Why stop there. Once Agassi beat Sampras, therefore

Raonic > Sampras

His easy draws only makes up a bit for the bad luck he suffered at wimbledon last year. It's about time he's getting some luck
He did beat tipsy and almagro in chennai.

lost serve once yesterday against Rochus

And even that i still don´t get it, it was just huge choke:D but he is holding his service games like nothing

:lol::rolleyes::lol:

Let's be real- the fields weren't that strong to begin with.

blame the players who failed to enter such "weak" events.

I beat a guy who beat a guy who beat a guy who (repeat a hundred times) beat raonic. So I'm better than Sampras.
But we already knew that.

But we already knew that. Raonic beat him last month in an exo winning a set 6-1. Surely everyone knows Raonic > Sampras. :shrug:

His career = luck.
Oh yeah, mentally strong, great players :lol:

It's a matter of trollollol - I hope.

stop giving me that look, or is that your daughter.

Injured, You call that an injury?
Others are injured for a year or so. Not for a couple of weeks. I hate injuries and was bad to see him injured but that was nothing compared to others injuries.

if you ever need hip surgery, I'd love for you to say it wasn't an injured hip :lol: you have hilarious logic!

EDIT: Put the quote there since you deleted it ;)

Oh yes the smart scheduling.:rolleyes: Roddick has also been choosind this schedule for years now and didn't work out so great. Playing against players ranked around 40 in indoors fast hard isn't going to do you a whole lot of good in IW and Miami where the top guns play.

Not that he needs help winning indoors, but first of all both times Monfils withdrew in San Jose.

Well he has to do something to fill February, why not play on indoor surfaces that suit his game? Indian Wells and Miami are for another day :rolleyes:

Perhaps that is rather due to Roddick's absymal level of playing nowadays?
The fellow is out of it and couldn't manage to take his chances, got noone else for that to blame but himself.

Players are free to choose whatever tournament they'll be playing (apart from the mandatory ones of course) and yes, if it's your goal to pick up some nice easy-peasy points, why not do so at a tournament with an 'easier' (on paper, that is) entry list?
That's what I call intelligent scheduling, indeed.

How about doing what Federer does (he seems to be pretty good on scheduling) go to Europe train on medium fast hard court, play in Dubai and then go to IW.

We don't know that. Let's see what he does in IW and Miami.

Another game for Milos.
In Demonic scream mode.
I've been made it every time since his first win in San Jose.

Happy for your fav, mate! :D

Why? We've seen him in IW and Miami precisely ONCE - hardly a pattern of poor performance after playing American indoor swing. If he can take advantage of weaker fields in America, might as well.

He can play outdoor hard, he did okay in Australia last year and Chennai this year as I recall so I don't think he needs to do a bunch of extra outdoor work to be all ready for the big 1000s coming up.

Keep this up and Cthulhu will rise and kill us all :help:.

So THAT'S what 2012 prophecy is about..
And it's probably my fault.

How about doing what Federer does (he seems to be pretty good on scheduling) go to Europe train on medium fast hard court, play in Dubai and then go to IW.

He probably feels much more at home in the US and has a lot more support there. Not to mention the good memories of getting his first title in San Jose.

Besides, he's still young and trying to earn some money. Federer couldn't care less about money nowadays, for Raonic it's certainly an issue and he's likely to get a bigger paycheck by getting deeper in tournaments with easier fields.

In 2010 Roddick made the final of IW and won Miami and played San Jose and Memphis before them.

Ok, it's just my theory that "eassy" points like the ones he gets in Memphis are good for his imemdiat ranking but bad in terms of competiness.

Chairman Rao is the real deal.

So THAT'S what 2012 prophecy is about..
And it's probably my fault.

We still got months before we can stop this from happening. The world can still be saved :bounce:.

on the other hand if the world ends in December 2012, then Federer will have the record for the most slams, so it's not all bad :shrug: :p

hey like the Monty Python songs says, "Always Look On The Bright Side of Life" :p

See a physiatrist.

Ya know, if you're going to insult someone, at least spell the insulting word correctly :D

Another great job by Milos, especially that serve that hit Becker in the back off a bounce. I don't think I've seen that before!

How is this a 500?
I'm glad it is cuz Melzy really needed the points, but seriously, horrible field

Loving the Milos haters complaining about him beating players he is supposed to beat on courts that work to his advantage. It's not his fault all the other seeds couldn't get the job done and that he's great on indoor hard courts.

Time to go for title #3 on the season tomorrow.

Anybody who believes Milos is just a serve clearly hasn't watched him play this season or is just hating for the sake of hating.

I am loving it, though.

How about doing what Federer does (he seems to be pretty good on scheduling) go to Europe train on medium fast hard court, play in Dubai and then go to IW.
How about just defending the points that he put up last year on courts that work for him? Wouldn't that make more sense?
