    Milos Raonic..

    Watch out for this kid in the main draw in Chennai if he can beat Roger " I'm using" Vaseline in the final qualie..

    He will be playing either Bopanna,Gasquet,bambri or Dustin Brown..

    If he draws gasquet, we might get +400 here..he had 16 Aces last Qf match and won 97% on his points on first serves

    Needs to be +300 to rate a shot I think. Ferrer is playing some incredible tennis right now. Can't say Raonic doesn't have a shot, but Youzhny showed he can be broken and I think Youzhny is maybe half the returner Ferrer is. Plus for Raonic is that much like Youzhny, Ferrer does not hold a dominant serve.

    He's improved a ton. I remember him from nearly beating Fernando Gonzalez in Canada 2009, but back then the returns were useless and his movement was woeful.

    I miss Nando and his dipshit ways. Wonder if he'll be back to ruin shit at the US Open with a wildcard or something?

    i don't think it will be a destroying type match....it could be straight sets though....but it will be close sets i think.

    The kid has impressed me with his ability to not get rattled. He is for sure not a one trick pony. I'm going to ride him till I lose..Regardless what happens I'm up units with him through 3 matches, if I lose one, so be it..
    By the way Raonic is +465 at Pinny and rising!!

    Raonic needs one more win to qualify for the South Africa event. Man, he has to be tired having to go through qualies again and the time zone difference from OZ to SA( 9 hours) Depending on who he plays in the first round, I might actually fading him might be worthwhile because the books are going to love him now if he plays a inferior opponent.
