Na Tignorovoj listi igrača na koje treba obratiti pažnju ove sezone:

Milos Raonic
The serve is still atomic and the forehand a bullet when he has time to set up. The backhand still goes haywire at times, he’s not a natural defender, and his instinct is to pull the trigger as soon as possible, sometimes too soon. But of the ATP’s Nexts—Dimitrov, Dolgopolov, Harrison, Tomic—he’s the farthest along, and the one with the least downside. Like Pete Sampras and John Isner, Raonic’s serve makes him a calmer, and thus better, competitor. Some experts have him winning Wimbledon sooner rather than later, and the Top 10 player he beat on Sunday, Janko Tipsarevic, says it’s just a matter of time before Raonic joins him at that elite plateau. Let’s see what he can do if he has a full season. I’m thinking both the experts, and Tipsarevic, could be right.

Standing in there against that ferocious serve proved to be unnerving, to say the least. An embittered Verdasco declared, "It's not even tennis," but the classier Tipsarevic spoke for Raonic's future after Sunday's match, saying, "Guys like Milos are special players."

“Don’t get nervous, Milos.”

This piece of advice comes from a supporter of Milos Raonic on the sidelines of Court 18. It’s deep on the unlandscaped side of Melbourne Park, a relatively forlorn spot that feels more like a parking lot than a major tennis facility.

Raonic doesn't care where he is. He’s hammering Filippo Volandri, to the point where the Canadian begins to experiment with some serve and volley, though it doesn’t go too well. More impressive is Raonic’s forehand-and-volley play. He takes one at the baseline, hits it hard and low down the middle, follows it in, and wins the point with an easy volley. In general, Raonic always tries to do something with the ball, even from deep in the court. He doesn’t settle for rally shots if he can help it; virtually all of his forehands come with a driving offensive purpose. He plays tennis like a man who hates small talk.

Up 0-30 on Volandri’s serve early in the second set, Raonic drills one of those forehands into the net for 15-30. His friend or acquaintance or whoever it is warns him, “Don’t get nervous.” One thing this person must not be is a coach. Is there a faster way to make your player get tight than to tell him not to get tight?

Q. In this tournament players are breaking their racquets on the court. What are your thoughts on that?

MILOS RAONIC: I have 10 racquets. I need to play with 10 racquets. I don't have any to break.
I don't know. I never really broke racquets too much often. But last year I played the first half of the year with three racquets and the second half of the year with four racquets. I think that also made me settle down with the breaking racquets.
Now I have a few more racquets, but I don't feel the habit or anger to break them.

Lessons of the GameTough one for Milos Raonic. But a compelling final blast from Lleyton Hewitt.

Hewitt, always one of the sport's toughest competitors, may be in the twilight of his long, successful career. But he had enough guile and patience and fire left to bounce the 21-year-old Raonic from the Australian Open today with a 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (5), 6-3 upset win.

Raonic, seeded No. 23, was favoured to win over the 30-year-old Hewitt, and came out guns-a-blazing in the first set in the first ever meeting between the two. But gradually, Hewitt figured out the Canadian, gradually exploiting his inexperience to wear him down before a raucous, partisan audience at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne Park.

The match undoubtedly turned in the third set tiebreak when Raonic lost his final three service points, including missing an easy put away at the net on set point.

"I was a bit lucky. He missed a high forehand volley he'd probably make 99 times out of a 100," said Hewitt.

Raonic's trademark big serve worked well for the most part and he hit 23 aces and some as fast as 228 kilometres per hour, but he made far too many unforced errors (54) and struggled with his movement. As the match wore on, Hewitt just moved the youngster around the court, giving Raonic just enough rope to hang himself. In particular, the Aussie kept serving wide to Raonic in the deuce court, and Raonic kept making the same error over and over.

The ESPN announcers began the match gushing over Raonic, comparing him to the legendary Pete Sampras, but ended up paying homage to Hewitt's veteran savvy and guts on court. The former world No. 1 is now No. 181 in the world, but he saved a special performance for his national tournament in what may be his farewell appearance.

It was great theatre, with Hewitt trying to draw the crowd into the match, and Raonic trying to maintain his composure after overwhelming Hewitt in the early going with his awesome power. In the end, he might have been a little overwhelmed by the moment, his first big stage exposure at a Grand Slam event.

It was a disappointing third round result for Raonic given that he made it to the fourth round Down Under last year, and because a victory would have meant a match with the best player on the planet, Serbia's Novak Djokovic.

Those unfamiliar with the sport might see it as a devastating loss, given that Raonic was the favourite. But really, it was the continuing process of Raonic refining his game in high pressure moments against the best in the world, an opportunity largely denied last season when he missed months after hip surgery.

Raonic actually had two break points in the final game in a last gasp bid to stay in the match, then saved one match point with a superb approach shot and volley winner , then saved another after that. But he couldn't put away another volley on Hewitt's third match point, and then missed a desperate attempt to get to a Hewitt lob to end the match. An emotional Hewitt collapsed on the court in utter joy.

"A good performance overall (from Raonic)," said commentator Patrick McEnroe, brother of John. "He's going to be a major factor in the men's game."

Raonic will soon head home to get ready for Canada's much-anticipated return to the world group of the Davis Cup next month in Vancouver against France. Canada qualified for the world group by beating Israel last September.

Malo teksta i slika sa treninga u Vankuveru.



It was early to rise and early to practice for the Canadian Davis Cup team’s Milos Raonic on Monday as he gets ready for this weekend’s World Group opening-round tie versus France.

Milos Raonic and his coach Galo Blanco were on court at shortly after 8 a.m.at the Thunderbird Sports Centre on the campus of the University of British Columbia.

Blanco did different drills with Raonic, including, as pictured below, feeding him balls and letting him uncork the big forehand.



But practice wasn’t all about robotic hitting and Milos and Galo had some fun at the end of their session.
They enjoyed a little exchange game near the net that involved hitting the ball on the edge of the racquet, not with the strings.
In the picture below Milos is trying to kind of ‘sword’ the ball away much to the amusement of himself and everyone watching.



It was a brief game, but there was a winner and a loser. The picture below shows who was the loser and what price he paid.
