Milos Raonic .vs. Fernando Verdasco (déja vu)
It was another close match between Fernando Verdasco and Milos Raonic at the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships in Memphis, TN tonight. Although I could find no way to watch it (Sportsnet apparently starts their coverage tomorrow night - one night too late), I had the live score ticker from the tournament website always in a visible location. Milos was again victorious over Verdasco as he was a few days ago when he beat him in the final of the SAP Open in San José. In the end, the matched summed up nicely:
The match was a nail-biter even though I was only getting small text updates and changing scores every 15-45 seconds or so... We shouldn't have that problem in the future though since SportsNet.ca will be streaming the rest of the tennis from Memphis apparently.
If you're wondering what the match looked like:
And of course, no camera has a suitable shutter speed to capture Milos' serve but here was an attempt:
By the way, both of these photos were stolen from Bobby Chintapalli's twitter feed. She was at the game and mostly commented on how "dreamy" Fernando Verdasco was - but at least she took these pictures for us. Thank-you!
Best of luck to you in the second round Milos!

looking at the draw, you’ve got to like Raonic’s chances. if he gets through Stepanek, he’ll probably end up playing an American or two — though he won’t have to face Blake this time like in San Jose. I think the two toughest players left in Raonic’s half of the draw are Radek Stepanek and Mardy Fish.
