Here's the thread for Milos. Let all discussion about him now take place here

seems strange im the one finally making the thread

he's the top ranked canadian, 20 years old and ranked at a career high of # 153.

the highlights of his career came last year during the late half of the season when he made the final in a canadian challenger last year, beating 2 seeded players along the way before falling to german Tobias Kamke. He also beat the world #'s 1 and 2 in the doubles of the rogers cup and madce it to his first quarter final of an atp event falling to russian igor andreev.

CBC now says he's out of Sony Ericsson Open due to an ankle injury..

I don't even know what to say at this point.. it's annoying that he's so injury prone :(

Since this is the general thread for Milos, I thought I'd throw this out there:

Do you think there's some sort of concerted effort to put less attention on him at the moment?

I was watching the 'Perfect Player' series videos and no one even mentioned him for best serve.

I know it's not a big deal but if feels like the hype train's derailed a little and he'll need to win a big match, like against a top 4 player, to get it back. (consistently beating mickey mouse players ain't gonna cut it no more)

Milos draws a just coming off knee injury, Falla in the 1rd of Barca.

Excellent win over Almagro, 3 and 3. Converted all three of his break points while saving both against him, and won 59 total points to the Spaniard's 38. Murray relishes going against Nadal on clay, so he'll be sharp. Hopefully the mini-roll Milos is on will continue. I predict a tight first set but ultimately a confortable Murray win, but I hope I'm wrong.

Great mental fortitude from Milos after choking his service game away at *5-4 in the 2nd. Milos also dictated play for the vast majority of the match. Murray put in a couple of attacking games in the 2nd set and looked really good, but then it was back to Milos dictating play.

I believe this also puts Milos ranking up to 23, which gets him the better draws for the Slams.

Not necessarily, I've seen guys ranked lower have nice draws, and guys ranked higher not have so nice draws.
