Raonic not looking sharp at all early on. Hopefully losing serve early is the wake up call he needs. Losing this match would be pretty brutal considering the opportunity he has with the draw now wide open.
The first serve is bound to start improving though and that should get him back into things.

Looks dopey, should have broken Novak in the very first game and seems depressed that he didn't get it done.

Nice break by Milos to get back on serve in this opening set.

Yeah very sluggish.....perhaps the long wait to get on court has him a little out of sorts. I also didn't realize that Novak is dropping first serves at 85% thus far. That won't last.

Fed wins in straights again, he hasnt dropped a set at Wimbledon since Milos the Missile took him out in 2016.

Milos didn't play well, but took the opening set in a tie-breaker. Novak must be kicking himself as I don't think he can play much better than he did and he still lost the set.

Novak takes the second set 6-4. He's not playing like the #171 ranked player in the world. Still think that Milos will win, but it's not going to be a walk in the park.
/Also, I doubt they finish today as they are quickly running out of daylight.

Something is going to give as Novak is serving an Isner like 86% on first serves through 2 sets making the return game nearly impossible for Milos. This season Novak has been running at 59% on first serves so this is likely way over his ability level to sustain for 3-4 sets.
Raonic needs to keep his head down and keep plugging away and the tide will turn sooner or later. He's winning more points overall than Novak so far, just not getting the results.

Milos struggling today, I think part of the problem with new players on tour is that they have no plan B. They go in with 1 strategy and then when it's not working they can't make any adjustments to their game. They don't know how to game plan and come up with new strategies when things aren't working for them like the games all times greats do. I bet if Pete Sampras was in Wimbledon this year as a 46 year old he would go deep.

Match halted on serve with Milos holding a 6-5 lead in the third set. Milos wanted to play one more game, but Novak did not. Oh well, let's resume tomorrow.

Yes, Milos breaks Novak to take set 3 7-5. Looks totally different today as compared to yesterday.

Very annoying. Usually they have 3 channels of Wimbledon, not sure what the problem is today, the others just showing Sports Centre. I was watching the DelPo match

A break for Milos in set 4 to take a 3-1 lead. Novak has come back down to earth after playing lights out yesterday.

Milos plays like he did today he's the 2nd favorite to win the whole thing. He's one of the few players who can rush the net effectively.
