Wow, that second set was of the highest quality from both Simon and Raonic, but Milos prevails in the tie-breaker to take a 2 sets to love lead.

Simon takes set 3 6-3 (won four straight games to close out the set). Milos serves to start the fourth set.

Milos with the break - This time, he needs to consolidate the break.

Gilles is hurting. Hope Milos can take advantage.

Milos breaks back - Did this turn into a WTA match all of a sudden?

Next up for Milos is Roberto Bautista Agut and if he can win that match, he would play the winner of Rafa and Monfils.

Zverev cramped after winning a 27 shot rally at 2 all in the 5th, and that was curtains. Obviously as a teen his fitness isn't quite there yet, but also tactically he was outmatched. Countless times he had Rafa on the ropes in a rally but had no idea how to move in and cap it off. Once he figures that out it's doom for the rest of the tour.

That said, Rafa looked better than at any point in the past 3 years...vintage performances back to back with Fed isn't gonna happen too often, but glad it's at least still possible.

R16

Murray-M.Zverev
Federer-Nishikori
Wawrinka-Seppi
Tsonga-Evans

Monfils-Nadal
Bautista Agut-Raonic
Thiem-Goffin
Dimitrov-Istomin

Open draw, but you'd still expect a Wimbledon rematch of Andy-Milos. Which of course means Evans-Istomin final incoming.

It was an excellent performance by Raonic who showed a much greater inclination to get to the net than he had in his previous match against Gilles Muller when he served-and-volleyed a grand total of just once. Against Simon on Saturday in Hisense Arena, he S&Ved 32 times, winning 20 of those points (63%).

“He was changing his (returning) position quite a bit,” Raonic explained about Simon, “and he’s not one of those guys who can heavily spin it (on the return). So when he was going back it gave me a lot more time to get close. It was really about keeping him out of rhythm.”

Raonic didn’t mention keeping the points short because of his flu and feverish symptoms. A bug that has been bothering him since Tuesday did not seem to be a factor. “I had a rough last 48 hours,” he said. “But I got my energy up today.”
