Raonic vs. Yen-Hsun Lu

I think so. I think he is being overrated because of his breakout performance at the Australian Open but to me he hasn't proved that he is reliable. Lu is not a terrible player either.

Did you watch the match he had vs Ferrer? Yes he maybe a little overrated because of that performance but you can't deny he is talented enough to be this big of a favorite vs players like Lu.

As a Canadian I love Raonic but I have to disagree. There's a reason the opening price was $1.80 on Raonic to Lu's $2.10. Someone who lost to Vasselin in the first round in the beginning of Jan shouldn't be played at $1.50 against Lu who in his last 3 matches lost to Simon twice and Gasquet. Nothing to be ashamed of there. And considering Lu took Ferrer to 3 sets in Beijing in October, the 'Ferrer factor' should've been ignored for the most part. Definite Aussie Open bandwagoners pushing down the price on Raonic from a fair opening price. Just like people jumped on Lu's wagon after he beat Roddick aT Wimbledon.

Congratulations to those who played this. Raonic is going to be a very good player (top 10 at least I'd say), but he is still young. Expect some wild inconsistency at times. I would be careful laying too much on him right now, so I passed yesterday. Glad he won for you guys!

I ended up taking raonic small. Was able to find a stream and watched the first set before going to sleep. He was very solid on this one.
