This will be an interesting tie breaker. Raonic has been massive on serve here. He's a big change if he doesn't tighten up too much.

Lonnnnnggggggg way back now.

This may end up being a third set similar to the one against Tomic the other night.

[Burgey]

35 in a row. Unbelievable.

Love me some Raonic, but he always loses the key points to Fed (and tbf, he's not alone in that).

Raonic should have been an Aussie too - so sad that his parents chose Canada ahead of Aus cos their immigration papers were shorter

[Burgey]

If he'd come here he might have ended up like Tomic though.

This is true, this is true. Has Australia produced any decent blokes since Rafter?

[Jono]

It has produced decent bloke's arms since Rafter

Is Almagro serving like a beast? Only way I can imagine him owning Ferrer like this is with his serve on. He is a dangerous player when he's getting easy points on his serve, because he can then open up.

He can be a winner-machine at times. Him beating Ferrer in a Slam, if he can get over the line, will be absolutely massive.

[Johnners]

Not according to the slam tracker. Ferrer is getting 75% of first serves in compared to 45% for Almagro, and winners/unforced errors are basically dead even. Seems the major difference is that Almagro has made the most of his break point opportunities (2/2 compared to 0/3 for Ferrer)

[Jono]

Intriguing.

Want to see this. FU work

[Jono]

Almagro fails to serve out the match!

[Jono]

Holy ****

[Jono]

Wtf is going on? break after break, most baffling 4th set.

[Jono]

This is stupid now.
