Fast out of the blocks, Milos broke Murray in the first game, consolidated, broke a second time, and cruised to a first-set win, having to save only one break point. In the second set Andy had three break points to save, Milos none; but Andy went on to take the tight tie-break. Third set looked to be over early with Andy up 4-1, but Milos\u00a0broke back\u00a0to get back on serve, saved two match points serving 5-6, then powered through the tie-break to win the match in style. Not just a pretty face, Milos is no longer just \"the big-serving Canadian\" --\u00a0he showed he's got the game to back up his serve,\u00a0with return stats this time better than Andy Murray, one of the best returners in tennis.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 &gt;&gt; <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/U3sbPxTYYEs\">http:\/\/youtu.be\/U3sbPxTYYEs<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 &lt;&lt;<\/p>\n<p>Next up: the Final, tonight (on Sportsnet One at 10pm PT;\u00a0\u00a01am ET) Milos v.\u00a0home-favourite Kei Nishikori, ATP#17.
