the ATP needs more of his big stage fearlessness, it adds drama and storylines while we await the coming of the new Chosen One (whoever that is).

We might have to wait a few years, but Felix certainly is on a nice trajectory.

This is great....and I'm shocked. You mean TSN doesn't have to show 4 feeds of sportscenter or the same CFL game on every channel?

I'm not able to watch this match, but based on the scoreline (first two sets have gone to tiebreakers with Novak winning set 1), it looks like a doozy.

7-6, 7-6 for Novak.
Milos played well. Nothing to be ashamed of there.

I tuned in just in time to see Raonic blow a set/break point at 6-5. Hit the net on an attempted winner.
From there it's predictable.

Considering Milos was doubtful to participate in this tourney, he's gotta be quite pleased taking Novak to the limit in the two sets they played. He broke Novak a couple of times and had other chances to break, so definite improvement on that front as well.

Absolutely. And still a chance at the semi-finals, if he can beat Dominic Thiem.

When you look at the way he played this match and really the last two events on the tour and a huge chunk of the season, he beats 98 / 100 of the top players pretty securely.
The gap is closing, but last night is further evidence that there is zero margin for error in games against Novak/Murray.
Go beat Theim and you've done quite well Milos!

By most accounts, Murray and Nishikori had a heck of a match with Andy winning in three sets (6-7(9), 6-4, 6-4). Cilic and Stan are about to get underway.

Three hours and twenty minutes for three sets and only one breaker. Would have easily been a five hour match at a major.

Goffin steps in for an injured Monfils and gets roasted 6-1 6-2 by Joker. Thanks for coming out David.
/He probably gets some nice appearance money and lovely parting gifts though.

Milos takes the first set against Thiem in a tie-breaker. Keep it going Milos.
/7-5 was the tie-breaker score.
Edit: Milos breaks Thiem to start set 2.

Semi-final matchups are set with Murray dispatching Stan in straight sets earlier today - Milos plays Andy and Joker faces Nishikori on Saturday.

Why not keep this year's narrative going....this is the 6th time they've squared off and usually deep in every tournament.
