I totally agree with your view on Raonic, Money. I also think that the line is too high and Milos should be able to cover it. Everybody is talking how courts in Melbourne are playing faster this year and of course, it helps guys like Raonic. In those evening matches, balls are traveling slower through the air, because its colder, but I'd say he can still get 210+ kph on majority of his first serves in those conditions. But, the bounce is not as high and ball skid through the court. That helped Mueller a lot, to stay close against Nole in previous match.
One more thing. I noticed that Novak gets frustrated, when big servers drop aces on him and get out of dificult situations, by serving it out. That is pretty much the only part of the game, where he can't do nothing about it and he is not too happy when that happens. I saw him geting emotional against Karlo in Doha when such things happened and also against Muller.
Speaking of the Wawa-Nishi match, I am bit confused here. I think Stan should be the favorite. Nishikori might be impressive in previous rounds and all that, but this is completely different matchup for him, then it was the previous one against Ferrer. But, because I didn't see much of them two in this tourney, I am gonna just skip that match. Good luck guys!
