You like game of Raonic?

 

[cinnabar]

No

 

[Redkop]

Not particularly but he's very good at what he's meant to do so you have to respect him for that. He's improved a ton over the last 12 months and keeps getting stronger.

 

[howyesno]

that would be a great intro question from an ophthalmologist.

 

[TheEndIsNear]

He's not my favorite player, but yes I like his game well enough. MTF labeled Raonic as a serve bot when he first emerged on the tour, but now don't want to admit that he's improved quite a bit since then and pretend his only weapon is his serve.

Whats the difference from "not Canadian" and "other countries" ?

 

[Vinch]

It depends. I don't like it when he wins his service game with aces only even if there is nothing wrong with that. But when he is playing someone capable of returning his serves, he can be enjoyable to watch.

 

[Wojcirej]

No, but I don't have problems with accept him as a part of tour.

 

[MalvinLuisandy]

Whats the difference from "not Canadian" and "other countries" ?

Canadians may live in other countries!!!

 

[MalvinLuisandy]

Yes (I'm not canadian) means you and your parents and grandparents (grandgrand also) born not in Canada and live not in Canada too.

 

[MalvinLuisandy]

"other countries" means you can be Canadian but live not there and not in places I listed.

 

[MalvinLuisandy]

variant "Yes (I'm NOT canadian)" have 0 votes so far)))

 

[Coolio_Jack]

Canadians may live in other countries!!!

Ok, so why dont you have options like "I'm Canadian" and "I'm from Canada" ?

 

[norwood_10]

He's fine.

Serving is part of the sport, and to be able to do it as well as he does it, takes talent.

 

[Bruce7]

Is that the sequel to Game of Thrones?

 

[nellis_lv]

Not Canadian and I like his style.

I get how it can turn some people off, though. It's repetitive, kinda slow some times, but it takes a whole lot of clutch-ness to pull off.


I'm not sure people understand how driven Raonic is, considering his body frame and that he took the route less traveled as a junior (wasn't coached by elite European coaches or Bollettieri) and, yet, still got to where he is by sole concentration and focus.

I'm not sure if his opinion has changed, but Fed was asked a few years which of Raonic/Dimitrov/Tomic would achieve the most and he said Raonic, not cause he thinks he's the most talented but cause he knows how to handle his business.

 

[Mountaindewslave]

yes and no

when he is 'on' I enjoy seeing his powerful groundstrokes and forehand in particular. I like the byonic arm band thing he wears.... his serve is nice to watch. he moves well for his size. but on the other hand he can get outmanuevered (not really his fault) very easily in rallies so I don't enjoy watching that

also his personality is boring and robotic

so yes and no it depends. if he's playing a top player in a tight match I find him enjoyable, if only to see how his opponent will handle his barrage of inconsistent power

 

[Edda]

Not particularly. Although it has improved somewhat (very small amount), it's nothing spectacular.

 

[Claybot]

Probably the player who has improved most in the last 3 years. It's a totally different player today. Still I don't like. But credit to him, he played quite well today while the balls were painting the lines.

Raonic more fun to watch than Isner. I don't like/dislike him. Seems like a nice guy, don't know what all the hate's about. Is it an American vs Canadian thing?

Also don't get the hate for Canada given that it's a peaceful neutral country that stays out of trouble. My mom always tells me stay out of trouble monfed so I got no issues.
