Raonic has nothing to hang his head about in the final imho. He got out maneuvered by the best returner/defender in the world - a guy that has been at it 4-5 years longer than he has. The fact he has even been able put himself into the second tier below these guys is incredibly encouraging as he enters the prime of his career.

Roger was more dominant last year, Andy more dominant this year. It's still really hard to win a major when you have to beat 2 of those 3 guys. If not for Sam Quarray, Milos would have had to beat all three which would have been a monumental accomplishment. Wawrinka having won both his beating #1 and #2 (Nadal/Djokovic and then Djokovic/Federer) makes his major wins some of the best in recent history.
