He definitely looks to be saving himself for the tougher matches later on as far as how hard he's hitting the serve as concerned. I think he should hit that kick serve of his more often, it gives other players fits.

Break on the first game! Sock's getting worn down. That tiebreak was bad for him, and the first service game of the second set even worse.

Ohh man, Sock. Had Raonic at 15-40 and bad misses on both points to fall back to deuce. Milos was DOA at the net on the second point too.

Edit: and then some fantastic running from Raonic to save a third break point.

Four break points saved. Milos really needs an ace here!

Milos finally holds! Sock is going to have nightmares about that game tonight.

Well, that was Sock's best chance to lose another tie-break to Milos and it just went poof.

Jack Sock is really terrible at challenging calls.

Win! Another 7-6 6-4 victory. Nice of Milos to put it away just as the Flames game starts.

So, looking at today's results, if Raonic can get by Dzumhur, he'll face Kyrgios in the quarter-finals.

Milos - Dzumhur is underway and Milos gets an early break (currently up 3-0) in the first set.

I guess we can call that a Bosnian bagel.

Apparently Djokovic-Theim is very entertaining. Not that we would know, given TSN can only dedicate one channel to tennis and three to Pardon The Interruption.
