Milos highlights R1. Having a bit more of a challenge in round 1 but comes through nicely: http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Media/Videos/2012/06/Halle/Halle-2012-Monday-Highlights-Raonic-Petzschner.aspx

Sampras on Milos :
“You like the game of Milos Raonic a lot, we understand?
He’s progressing out there very nicely. I’d be surprised if he wasn’t in the top 10 by the end of the year. I think he’s got a huge game, big serve, moves well, competes hard and is just getting more experience, more matches under his belt. That serve – I played an exhibition with him – up in Canada and I was just “wow”, this is a major weapon in the sport. He is really is a dark horse for Wimbledon and the US Open. It helps being 6ft 6 and having that racket-head speed. He generates a lot of kick, a lot of movement and he has confidence in it. He certainly has the guts to swing hard and go for that second serve and it’s a monster weapon in the game. He is not a player that people want to see in their side of the draw. If he’s serving well, he’ll be dangerous.
I think he’s willing to go for it and he has a good technically sound serve. It’s not going to break down under pressure, his body will take over his mind. The thing I like about Milos, he’s willing to come in a little bit, serve and volley at times and back it up a bit. It’s one thing having a big serve but it’s another being willing to be a bit aggressive with it, even in today’s game where everyone stays back. Nice kid and great attitude.”
