Seeds fail to sprout in Milos’ half of the draw in the first round at Memphis
The path to a second straight final in Memphis is looking much better for Milos Raonic.
Our 4th seed Canuck started the tournament in Memphis on the same half of the draw as 2nd-seeded Andy Roddick, 5th-seeded Alex Bolgomolov Jr., and 6th-seeded Julien Benneteau.
As we watch (around 11PM Eeastern via the score-ticker, as this round isn't televised or streaming) Milos take the first set 6-2, I'm realizing that all the seeds listed above have already been eliminated by X. Malisse, O. Rochus, and Phil Petzschner respectively.
Milos is the only seeded player left in his half of the draw.
On the other side of the draw: Bernard Tomic, the 8th seed, was defeated by Ivan Dodig, but 1st-seeded John Isner, 3rd-seeded Radek Stepanek, and 7th-seeded Kevin Anderson remain, as they were successful in their first round bouts.

Awesome that we’ll see some good TV coverage. Still can’t believe that Roddick is out – that was an awesome final last year.

So far, so good: looking ripe for an epic Isner/Raonic final.

Wouldn’t that be a treat? Talk about a big serving match…
