    Raonic vs Gulbis....thoughts...

    Ok, Raonic is the local dipshit who can serve big but is he really that good to solve Gulbis ?

    dont think so....unless Gulbis does not show up for this one it should be pretty one-sided action of tennis...

    If Rao does not start serving huge it will be probematic.

    Certainly there are some doubts if Gulbis can maintain the level he produced against Andy.
    But even if he plays worse he could/should still get an edge in 3 sets.

    So I say this is pure ML E.Gulbis odds are dropping steadily.... got him for 2.28

    Giraffe is a lucky cheater to even make it this far. He's about to be taught the meaning of "Gulbis".

    I'm on Gulbis also, hoping its not a forum's burial

    I wouldn't give Raonic too much credit for beating not 100% Del Po who mentally tapped out after the controversial point.

    Milos rightfully the fav. because of the H2H and home court advantage.

    Raonic is hurt or banged up from what I read. Gulbis has lost all 3 matches to Raonic. I can see Goat winning I'm 3 or Milos will retire

    Geez why isn't the Raonic line higher? My initial lean is Raonic but would certainly be the odd loser out if it came to that hmmmmmmmmm.

    I'm a Gulbis fanboy, as I think he is supremely talented and very entertaining to watch, but I think people are overreacting to his win over Murray yesterday. I still think he takes it but I'll enjoy this match from a spectator's perspective.

    let go GOATis!

    I smell a 3 setter...

    and Gulbis has never even taken a set off Raonic. I think that changes today.
    0-3 head to head

    Gulbis has been really good on hard this year. He played nothing short of impressively against Murray yesterday. Raonic has strong home court advantage, but at +125, I went with Gulbis. This one's close to coin flip IMO. If Gulbis can play close to the level he did yesterday, he will be really tough to beat.

    they only played on clay and indoor hard ... it seems Gulbis likes outdoor hard a lot this year

    Gulbis had two set-points at 6-5 and did not convert, and now he will probably fall apart in the tie-break. Damn.

    Too bad I missed the live-betting option on Gulbis to lose the tie-break. From what I see, most players losing set-points or match-points do not do very well in the ensuing tie-breaks.

    Too early to tell. Right now it looks good and Raonic is hurting, but Gulbis needs to play like that for the next two sets against the home crowd, will be tough.

    Gulbis is such a headcase. After he did not break in the 1st game of the 3rd you can stick a fork in him. I hope he retires.

    Damn it. Gulbis clearly cannot play with the crowd against him. Just remembered how he lost to monfils at the french open. shoul've taken the over.
