absolutely not. Milos has been on fire and when he is serving like he is now (140mph) he is very tough to beat. this is going to be a great match that could be a 5 setter.

I wouldn't say Murray is a lock by any means, I think Raonic has a good chance of winning...

jjgold · 09-03-12, 12:01 PM

Rainic the new upcoming breed

MUHerd37 · 09-03-12, 12:34 PM

Raonic isn't mentally good enough yet. Murray will get it done.

beermankirk · 09-03-12, 12:36 PM

Good value on Milos, should be a coin flip.

Coin flip? U crazy?

Since 2009 US Open Murray has made it to the SF 7/8 times in the non-clay slams, and he has become a much better player every year since then. However good Raonic will be in the future, given the current stage of his career he should be at least +400 against a player of Murray's calibre before I even consider putting a penny on him.

matt1216 · 09-03-12, 01:28 PM

Why the fck do people use the word "LOCK" Fck I hate that word. Murray has the "Better chance" of winning. Stop using "Lock", Bad Omens as well.

Snowball · 09-03-12, 03:48 PM

Murray gonna paste this kid.
He is the stud.

How many remember when I took Benjamin Becker
to beat Raonic at Newport ? he won.

6-1,6-3,6-2 type roll

Coolcanuck79 · 09-03-12, 03:52 PM

I hope so! Go Murray!

flyingillini · 09-03-12, 04:13 PM

Ranny is a true Afghan hero! Murray will have a tough match.

h3da · 09-03-12, 04:55 PM

Murray -4.5

Seto · 09-03-12, 05:05 PM

sets could be tight though, but murray has learnt to come up with the clutch shots over the years.

7-6 7-5 6-3 murray for me.

trytrytry · 09-03-12, 05:06 PM

good underdog spot here.

makman · 09-03-12, 05:12 PM

I do not see any lock for the Scotch.
Raonic seems impressive this year. There is a slight value on him but not much.
With his 140mph serves he will create much more problems than the linemakers assume. But the Canadian is lacking accuracy as he usually does
Some small amount on Raonic looks more reasonable than going with bigger amount on Murray.
Murray took his Olympic gold this year and i am not expecting him to win this tournament for sure He will be upset before the final of this tournament and why not against Raonic.
Murray is the favorite , Raonic has some small value.

For those who are seeking for value, i advise Federer-Berdych game the next day. Berdych is hot, and Federer is coming after a walkover-pass

Linngari · 09-03-12, 05:43 PM

I think Murray will get it done but Raonic to win the 1st set at +190 stands out to me

hels · 09-03-12, 05:46 PM

Raonic to win a set is -230 at betfair.

wtt0315 · 09-03-12, 06:08 PM

To me the three biggest overrated players in tennis is ranoic,isner and tomic. Can Raonic win today of course but I dont think he will. I think he has about a 10 percent chance. Murray has one of the best return of serves in the game and that will be key. I am not sure if raonic will even take a set. He has a big serve but his accuracy sucks as he leads in double faults in this open.

what are you talking about. Isner has been great. Isner ran out of gas last night due to playing more tennis than anyone else this year.Raonic went from somewhere in the 50's down to 14 this tourny. Tomic sucks.

wtt0315 · 09-03-12, 07:13 PM

Isner has been far from great. He is already going on 28 years old and he has nothing but a few small titles to show. He is only a couple years younger then roddick. His highest ranking is 26th or something like that. With his power serve he should of been top 10 a long time ago. He gets very lazy and has no other game besides his serve. Raonic is still very young and will be good but right now he is overated. He gets some major action from the bookies and he will be good but once again if he doesnt develop the rest of his game he will stay like isner.

I haven't seen much of Berdych in this tournament but that's an interesting point. If he plays like he did against Nadal at the Oz Open he def has a chance.

benrama · 09-03-12, 07:52 PM

Easy to say now but you guys are right, Raonic way over-rated for this stage of his career. All the top players have to do is start getting his serves back into to play and the rest of his game crumbles.

I can't stand Murray but it's men vs boys tonight.

benrama · 09-03-12, 08:10 PM

Murray -400 to win 3rd set, literally free money

CanuckG · 09-03-12, 08:22 PM

Raonic is only 21 unreal. 5 years from now he'll be top 3 in the world.

zoo youk · 09-03-12, 08:30 PM

Murray is playing out of his mind

canada doesnt produce too many tennis stars...buts roanic is the real fukking deal. kid could win 2+ majors once federer and nadal are done.

benrama · 09-03-12, 08:37 PM

Wishful thinking, Raonic will never win a grand slam, not unless every other top player gets food poisoning. You need court speed, and a weapon other than your serve to be a grand slam champion now. The mold has changed, and tall lanky big servers don't fit it. Who was the last one that won a grand slam? Ivanisevic in 2001? That will probably go down as the last hurrah, and good riddance too, bad for TV, bad for the game.

Coolcanuck79 · 09-03-12, 08:39 PM

Agreed. I'm from Canada and support Raonic 100% but he's not good enough to win a grand slam .. ever!

raonice may be tall, but hes not lanky. john isner is lanky. raonic built more like del portro.

wow did not realize that tard was only 21. he looks alot older. I see alot of potential in his game...he does have a huge serve however, i beleive players these days not only hit big but move extreemly well. I mean in 5 yrs if hes good as berdych that would be a compliment. would you agree?
