    Raonic -130

    Liked Step until I researched a little more and realized that Step just doesnt match up well against Raonic. Radek had a nice win over Baghdatis, but really Bagdadis hasnt been playing that well recently, and Step got smoked next round by Andy Murray, who also hasnt been playing well. Raonic is bigger, stronger and has a better serve than Murray who beat Step recently 1 and 4.

    Not sure how you can say he doesn't match up considering Steps almost beat Raonic on an indoor hard surface that heavily favored Raonic's game. I think it's a toss up, I took the plus monopoly money on Stepanek but will not be surprised by anything that happens here. GL.

    Dude, I literally hired a monkey to throw fecal matter at an ATP odds sheet and he hit Raonic so...

    Honestly im just going by the fact that Step just got smoked by Murray(whos been struggling) ON CLAY, and Raonic has a similar game(big serve, big groundstrokes). But for real, tennis is the WORST sport to bet, for me personally; Im above 50% in NBA, NHL, MLB but far below 50% in tennis even though ive been playing/watching/teaching tennis my whole life. Its a great sport because of all the parody but betting it is comparable to doing meth.

    I'm the exact opposite, tennis is probably my most profitable sport, odd!

    Why is the big-serving dick having success on clay? It's really frustrating. I thought there was more to clay court tennis than a serve.

    There is some altitude in Barcelona, plus do you remember Nadal getting beat by Soderling in the French? Big guys with big game can hit thru the clay!

    The big serving dick is pulling his big serving dick bullshit on clay again. 95% on first serves. God, how I hate the big serving dick.

    Koscheckbaby - don't make is so obvious that you are jealous of our Canadian big dicks. He has been practicing with Almagro and has lived in Spain for a bit to practice on clay...you are a chump if you think Raonic is just going to be a guy that only wins on hardcourt...my prediction is top 10 for Raonic.

    He has good patience, and lots of power off the ground so he can hit through the court.

    Most things about Raonic are like Del Potro, who's also pretty good on clay, despite the same flat strokes.

    It feels good that the big serving dick, Raonic, lost today. I will forget his first name soon enough. Big-serving Dick Raonic is his name to me

    He's 11th in the race, not going anywhere. His best part of the season will be the 2nd half too, with N American hard and lots of indoor action.

    Just wanted to rehash your assessment of Raonic on clay.

    Don't want you to forget his name.
