The CC crowd today really disgusted with Raonic daring to give Federer a match, aren't they. Loudest cheer so far was for a Raonic DF.

I can't stand the support Federer gets from centre court.

Such a great match, really enjoying this.

Fed missing a lot more a sign of fatigue imo.

That was a scary moment with the leg there for a second. But he seems ok

 

[Jono]

YESSSSSSSSSSSsssssssssssssssss

 

[OverratedSanity]

Dammit

**** if he can hold his nerve it'll be so good. Just great for tennis for Milos to finally make a Slam final.

Probably should have already been there at the Aus Open this year when he was on top of Muzz before he got injured

35 year old Fed winning back to back 5 setters would be epic

Be good news for the winner of the other semi if he did.

 

[Jono]

He just can't back up 5th sets anymore.

He just can't back up 5th sets anymore.

No disgrace at his age. Most normal players are well below this level by the time they are his age if they are even bothering to play still.

 

[Jono]

absolutely. But just shows the predictions that the Cilic match would catch up to him were pretty bang on.

I think he needs Milos to get nervous now. I don't think he can just reel off 4 great returns. He needs Milos to get tight when it hits him he's serving for a Wimby final, knocking out the GOAT on grass to get there.

Looked like Federer had a complete stranglehold on the match midway through the fourth.

Those double faults at 40-0, 5-6 in the previous set...

 

[Jono]

biggest game of his life coming up here

Been watching all night after the footy. Raonic just hung in there so well in the 4th set.

 

[Jono]

What a ****ing beast. That was the opposite of choking!

****ing awesome.

 

[vcs]

Fair play to Raonic for hanging in there, lesser players would have folded under the pressure Federer was putting on him in the fourth set.

Friday night ruined LOL.

 

[Jono]

eat **** centre court

 

[StephenZA]

Well done to Raonic, great match.

Heh, or not. Hardly surprising given how cool he was facing all those break points in the fourth.

Insanely clutch performance from Raonic. Massive returns in that 4th set break and amazing closing game in the 5th.
