[Senator Clay Davis]

Nice job consolidating the break.

[troutman]

Unforced errors 54-14 and Milos is still in this.

[Senator Clay Davis]

^ 14 aces and double the winners. The serve is the great equalizer in the men's game.

[troutman]

When he learns to cleanup the mistakes he will be dominant.

Looking like a 5th set - is the pressure now on the cheese eating surrender monkey?

[Mango]

Great fight back in the fourth from Milos! Simon is getting peeved and so are the fans.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

I gotta give him credit, Milos is really battling here. Great to see him not fold when he was down.

[Mango]

For all that is good and pure, stop moaning Simon.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Oh my, nice comeback. Thought he was done like dinner a while ago, big kudos to him for battling hard. Awesome to see.

[Mango]

Phew!

What a massive victory for Milos.

[Joborule]

Another game for Milos!

[Senator Clay Davis]

Could have folded down 2 sets to 1. Could have lost it when he got broken serving for the match. Great resolve and fight from Milos. Outstanding stuff

[troutman]

Good win against a player on his home court.

[Resolute 14]

Clean up those unforced errors, and he probably wins in three. But a match like this he probably would have lost in three or four last year. Still improving.

[dash_pinched]

woot!! Way to grind out that win, Milos. On another note, did anybody else find that American colour commentator annoying?

"Let's see if Milos can finish out this match with a little class?" Take your own advice, buddy.

[GirlySports]

It's a different meaning of class.

Class = quality. The comment makes sense cause he got broken serving for the match the first time.

and I wouldn't worry about the UE stats. Milos making four times as many against a pusher like Simon is expected. All Simon can do it continually put the ball back in play.

Oh I know what he meant, just thought the comment was totally uncalled for. Dimming light, on the court for 3+ hours in a grand slam facing the home crowd favourite, that's a tough situation for anyone.

[Inglewood Jack]

how many grody americans left in the draw? is Team Canada actually going to outlast them all?

[polak]

Bet a girl that Roanic would lose. He almost delivered in typical Roanician fashion but he pleasantly surprised.

Damn you Roanic. Damn you.

[troutman]

Did you get her phone number?

[GirlySports]

Betting against Raonic doesn't bother me as much as betting for Gilles Simon.
