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
