    Tokyo Title Match: Raonic vs. Nishikori

    1am ET start/Midnight CT

    RAONIC -160
    NISHIKORI +140

    O/U dudes, check out Bovada. Line is lower @ 23.5.

    Watched quite a bit of both guys in the last couple of days and these are deservedly your two finalists. I was impressed especially by both guys ground strokes in the semifinals. Raonic showed great form on his backhand which I rated the day before as something to pick on. Still his weaker side, but it looked good yesterday. Nishikori took advantage of some lackadaisical play from Baghdatis - but his ground strokes were rock solid and powerful. I couldn't tell you who is going to come out on top here. Raonic's serve is going to be extremely hard to break as Murray found out yesterday. Nishikori will need to be stout on his own serve. He was just that vs. Baghdatis, but did leave some openings the two previous rounds. For me, this is how I roll this evening.

    TIE BREAK [YES] -115

    I'm big on nishikori...

    Made $$ all week on raonic, but its a good time to fade him... nishikori is going to dominate the long rallies and I don't see anyway raonic maintains the play he had yesterday.

    I'm expecting Raonic to try to gorilla ball him as much as possible. He did a decent job against Murray of not getting into rallies which involved more than maybe 8-10 shots tops. He might not hit the lines like he did last night, but I think he'll just try to rip winners. Seems to be his m.o. mostly anyway. Be an interesting match to watch.

    I like Nishi +140. He breezed yesterday while Raonic had to fight and grind. Nishi's grounds strokes last night were impressive. Would be a great story if he won in front of the home crowd.

    Also like Sharapova.

    Ronic wins this. I dont know why people re going with Nishikori.Even if it is his own backyard.

    Raonic gave Tipserivic fits all day with his hard forehand shots. His serve was bang on!. Raonic Suprised Murray with somhuge back hands that seemed to come out of the woods! ont see Raonic letting up, He hasnt won a 500 level tour yet BTW

    Raonic has been getting better and better. Nishikori can be streaky at his serves. Raonic going to be hard to break.

    Wow. The Roof is on? This is just getting better for Raonic play, the serve is just going to be more awesome and even harder to break. Everything is going Raonic's way! Work it Raonic

    Take it easy, man, would recommend against betting more. Let us sit back and enjoy, this should be a good one, hope Raonic can do it.

    Raonic is fukked. Nishi is returning his serves like paddy cake.....especially Raonic's second serve. The Canadian has no chance when Nishi is returning this well.
