Re: OT: Tennis anyone? Milos Raonic, The Majors, etc.
Imagine if we had lost.
Nice of Canada to win vs Spain's C-team.

Spain probably thought we would, they imagined only Raonic would win his two matches, and that wouldn't have been enough.

Spain dissed us by not sending their real team. Dancevic played above his head. Now we get Levine so we have two decent players for singles.

Anyone know why Nadal (injury?), Ferrer, Almago and Verdasco didn't come?

Tiredness is what I heard.
I am not sure Raonic will ever beat Ferrer... that guy is like the Energizer bunny.

By the way Lotus, I can't say that I know Tennis like you, but I did watch a fair amount of Milos' match on Sunday and I have to admit that he does seem to make quite a few unforced errors. Really needs to cut down on that if he wants to crack the top 10.
Although he did make some nice shots too.

Re: OT: Tennis anyone? Milos Raonic, The Majors, etc.
Yep, that's his knock right now... unforced errors. His volleying game has gotten better in the past year so he is improving but I am not sure at the pace the top 4 did. Unforced errors are a killer because you are basically giving up the point to your opponent without a fight and in tennis against the top players that is enough to sway a match. I don't mind the missed shots when he is going for the outside lines because he will get better at those as he plays but shots into the net are brutal.
I wouldn't be surprised if he changes coaches at some point in the next year... not because the current one is no good but because you need to know if you are being pushed correctly when you are not in a match... ie, training and what to practice.
