Love these servebot matches. Odds haven't moved for about 20 minutes.
|
|
By:
smb360 so you're not allowed to have a powerfull serve in a sport where the goal is to hold serve? Its like dont let a tall player play basketball
 |
|
By:
You're deliberately manipulating my argument in an absurd manner there. Please engage your brain.
|
|
By:
hahaha
|
|
By:
Didn't they make the balls at Wimbledon slower a few years aog to try and negate the effect of big servers?
|
|
By:
im gonna win 748 on this match...
|
|
By:
of course you are
|
|
By:
yeah!!!
|
|
By:
smb360 some people want faster courts and balls to have "variety"
FORTUNALELY tennis has ballance the other way ,everything got bit slower to let the one element not dominate too much |
|
By:
not much entertaining element which supposed to be only the way to let the ball to play. tenis is not about breaking serve lol.
tenis is about winning games |
|
By:
roanic would have broken there if he really needed to, he toyed with haas in that game
|
|
By:
raonic lost only second point on his serve?
|
|
By:
how many aces this week for raonic
|
|
By:
Every game held to 15 or 30, Haas has a bunch of points on return.
|
|
By:
ATP scoreboard still out, isn`t it?
|
|
By:
ok
|
|
By:
Nice move to the net by Haas.
|
|
By:
Raonic has lost at least one point on his first serve. Not sure it's more than one though.
|
|
By:
raonic has a bad wimbledon record
|
|
By:
With ATP scoreboard you could get the info before to look at the last matches, it`s still out now though.
|
|
By:
i know
|
|
By:
yep i missheard commentators raonic lost 8 points on his servre so far
|

Sigh. Do I really have to spell it out?
'Developments in racquet technology and faster balls and courts mean that the best servers now consistently serve at speeds of over 160mph. The world #1 and #2 recently contested the US Open Final in a four hour match, where in each of the five sets there was not a single break point. Player #1 won 7-6 6-7 7-6 6-7 7-6. Both players served more than 80 aces. Only 500 people were in the crowd, and it is estimated that less than 50,000 people watched the match on television around the world. The sport has lost its appeal amongst both fans and sponsors, meaning that there is very little money in the sport any more and the winner of the US Open will take home just $10,000.' This is an example of the kind of thing that could happen to the sport if if the balls start moving faster and the majority of players become capable of producing serving better than Raonic does at this tournament. The sport cannot afford to let players use equipment that enable them to serve any better than Raonic is doing here. As it is, Raonic is only being broken 2% of the time at this tournament. Imagine if every single player was capable of holding between 97-100% of the time. The sport would almost die. |

cmmon milos break him and we can head to the all star game
|
|
By:
I know it's only a 34-year-old Tommy Haas (and the match last night against a one-dimensional Sam Querrey) but Milos Raonic looks like he's made giant strides from last season.
|
|
By:
He's spending his return games deciding which deity is most likely to answer his prayer.
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
green out
|
|
By:
Agreed but the key thing is whether he can reproduce this outdoors.

By:
