Raonic's approach shots have gone to pot. He seems unsure of himself now; leaving that ball down the line instead of putting away the volley is unlike him.
Murray's returns are so good though. Getting a clean hit on a 147mph serve is silly.

Strange thing to complain about when Wimbledon is famous for supporting underdogs.Originally Posted by Mahow
Only when they start playing well. Most of the crowd have no idea who most of the players are.
I bet only about 5 people knew of Thiem.
There are far too many who go just to tell their friends that they went to Wimbledon and had a ruddy good time.
Yeah fuck those guys, buying a ticket and enjoying themselves, who do they think they are?
If you had to fill Wimbledon with year-round tennis nuts only, it'd be a very quiet place.
They're such twats people.
Good prediction on Murray so far how
Smashing
Still think that Raonic has the chance to win in 5 but it's not looking likely if he continues to play like this and Murray keeps returning as well as he has been.
Mahow
Raonic is going to dick Murray
It's not over yet.
Feel free to lol should Murray win the third set.
Agreed. They should let very knowledgeable tennis bods like yourself in by default.
You can't deny that the Wimbledon crowd is the pits. Only American golfing tournaments are worse, 'get in the hole'. Ugh
Wife and kid left for a party just before this kicked off. It could be over by the time they get back.
Who is this fair dinkum cobber on comms?
Lleyton Hewitt?
It's Hewitt, Jim. Favourite ever player.
That return from Raonic was fucking stunning.
You've had an absolute mare this tournament Mahow.
I have? All I've predicted was Thiem to do well, Kyrigos to win a set against Murray, Raonic to beat Federer and then Raonic to win the whole thing.
Hardly a mare.
Maybe I'm just getting confused with your life in general.
Is he reading messages on something in his bag? Are you supposed to do that?
More than likely.
I also forgot about Tsonga, he was probably my biggest tip
Shame about Tsonga, he looks quality sometimes but just lacks something.
Notes. He's allowed to read notes but not receive any coaching.
Who the fuck laughs at a bodyshot serve?
Easiest laughs in the world. Just pipping a Premier League manager's press conference.
COME ON TIM! hahahaha
Why does Murray need an entire backroom team, all in dead serious caps and t-shirts? There's only one of him.
I don't know anything about tennis, but to the naked eye the two tie breaks have been a very clear example of a genuine 'bottle'.
The entire thing appears to have been a bit of a non contest (chin up 'how).
First his beard and now this.
Called it.
3 grand slams, an Olympic gold and a Davis cup. Not bad.
I think he was unsure of himself through most of the match and it came out in the tiebreaks in particular. I'm surprised, he has looked confident this year. First time in a slam final though, this probably won't be his last chance.
Credit to Murray though. So few unforced errors. Haven't looked at all the numbers but it's a totally different game to playing Federer in the semis.
Ok, that reaction for Cameron was grand.
The match stank of Raonic not being up to it/just being happy to be there from fairly early in the first set. Which was a shame.
Obviously Murray's the best player in the world not on a gluten free diet, so no shame in losing to him, but it would have been nice to see Raonic make more of a fist of it.
Djokovic v Nishikori in Rogers Cup final, SS3.
Murray Cilic final in Cincinnati. Sky Sports 2.
US Open starts today. Eurosport has all the coverage; they're doing build up from 3:30 today. Edmund v Gasquet starts at 4:30, and there's other good first round ties - the pick probably being Dustin Brown v Raonic.
Edmund to go through I reckon.
Edit: Bet365 also have coverage.
Edit again: Edmund at 4pm.
He raped Gasquet.
You can only imagine the French seethe. We'll be taking the piss at the petanque world cup next. What else are they good at?
Djokovic has just lost the second set against the world 242. Arm problems as well.
It's Jerzy Janowicz who has been ranked as high as 14th after getting to the Wimbledon semi in 2013. Injuries have fucked him over though.
Janowicz has a bit of a monster serve as well doesn't he?
Yeah, it's his main weapon.
Edmund bossing it. Two straight set victories.
How on earth did Konta win that?
Murray/Granollers on Eurosport. Murray likes playing lefties and also likes playing guys that come to the net; I'd be surprised if it wasn't straight sets.
He likes playing everyone who isn't called Novak Djokovic doesn't he?
There is that, yeah.
