Monfils withdraws, Raonic advances
Raonic is currently playing an exhibition match against "Dr." Ivo Karlovic. Gael Monfils withdrew from today's match citing a wrist injury and as a result, Milos advances to his first ATP Final without having a play a semi-final. Neat. Although advancing to the finals in a walkover, beating veterans like Malisse and Blake is no small feat.
It's no surprise that the first set of this exhibition match went to a tiebreak, since both players tend to protect their serve well. It looks like the second set is heading towards a similar result.
It'll be interesting to see who Raonic will play in the finals, though I'm sure it'll be a good match regardless of who advances from the Verdasco vs Del Potro semi.
Good luck in the finals, Milos.

I like the “Canadian Missile” better. also, did he say “spinach” at some point?
February 12th, 2011 - 19:44
Spinich? I don’t get it.

well, Raonic was serving in the Ad court when the guy said it. so maybe it has to do with Raon-ICH having to SPIN the serve in. who knows. could it be a nickname? or just an insignificant off-the-cuff remark about serving in the ad court? time will tell. maybe. perhaps.

That is a stretch. Most of the time I wish you could turn off the “commentary” track. Nobody listens to it on DVDs and I often wish it were an option for sporting events.

YOU WOULDN’T SAY THAT IF YOU LISTENED TO THE COMMENTARY TRACKS ON THE FUTURAMA DVDS!!!!!!

You can watch the SAP Open that is going on now in San José here:

It has the exhibition match that’s going on now and will have the semi tonight (Verdasco / del Potro) and the final tomorrow… 3pm Pacific Time i think…
Also, the announcer just called Raonic “The Maple Leaf Missile” – cheesy but it may catch on.
