[Loosie]

TSN3 has it on now, seems like it may be commentary free now that it's off Centre Court.

 

[Loosie]

3 points played.

 

[MsMeow]

One camera angle and it's so low, why even bother? You can't follow the play. 15-30 with Denis serving and they've moved off because rain.

 

[Loosie]

Shapovalov saves a BP and takes the opening game.

 

[Loosie]

Raonic has a couple more BPs but Shapovalov saved one with a killer BH and holds again.

 

[Loosie]

Shapovalov finally has an easy service game. On serve still Shap up 3-2.

 

[MsMeow]

Let's hope the rain stays away. 3-2 Denis on serve.

 

[Loosie]

3rd of 4 Shapovalov service games that Raonic has a BP in, has yet to convert any though.

Denis is really mentally strong when he's down in a service game.

 

[Loosie]

Dammit...Raonic is taking an MTO. getting his neck worked on.

 

[MsMeow]

Oh great, Milos is getting treatment on his neck

 

[Loosie]

First time Shapovalov has been deep into a Raonic service game. He got to deuce.

 

[Loosie]

On to a tie-breaker.

 

[Loosie]

Untimely error from Raonic brings up a SP for Denis, but Raonic saves it.

 

[MsMeow]

Wow, that changed quickly.

 

[Loosie]

From SP down to winning it. Raonic takes the last 3 points to take the tie-break 8-6.

 

[Loosie]

This is a worse angle than the low one, the umpires chair blocks so much.

 

[Loosie]

Raonic finally converts a break point. He leads 2-0.

 

[Loosie]

0-40 for Shapovalov, first BPs Raonic has faced.

 

[Loosie]

Had to step out for a bit, but Shap broke Raonic, then Raonic broke to close out the match 7-6(6) 6-4. Gets the winner of Dimitrov/Djokovic next.

I got distracted at 4-1 I think, then came back to see they were back on serve. When match point came up I didn't realize it because of the commentary free coverage I love so much!

Raonic has a really bad service game in which he threw in 3 DFs and was broken to love. I missed Raonic breaking to win the match though as I had to run an errand.

 

[MsMeow]

OMG the rain is back and it doesn't look like they'll be able to finish.
