GDT: US Open :: Raonic & Bouchard eliminated

99GoHabsGo99 · Jun 1, 2014

Milos Raonic won today 3-0 (6-3,6-3,6-3) which puts him in the QF for the first time ever at a major.

Eugenie Bouchard won today 2-0 (6-1,6-2) off to the QF.

Serena williams was eliminated by a huge upset in the 2nd round. Bouchard could do it! and Milos has a great serve you never know.

Raonic has become a lot more well rounded a player than given credit for. His game is wooden and he had a relatively easy draw but getting this far against legitimate clay courters is always impressive.

Next Matches:

Milos Raonic (8) v (2) Novak Djokovic :: Tuesday June 3rd 8am EST.

Eugenie Bouchard v Carla Suarez Navarro :: Wednesday June 4th 8am EST.

I've seen quite a bit of both so far.
Raonic is looking pretty good. Insane power, but he lacks that mobility and soft touch that the other top men have. I think he'll have a tough time if he runs into Djokovic or Nadal.
Genie looks really good right now. Dominated her match today. Not many women left who can match her power and her mobility is pretty good too. With a lot of the top women out already, she could make another run like she did in the Australian.

I'd love to see her play Sharapova. Would be and excellent match.

They seem set for a collision course in the semifinals. Hope it happens too.

Milos will probably get destroyed by Djokovic but he's still improving.

Price My Man Crush · Jun 1, 2014

It's the first time Raonic goes in QF in his professionnal career at a Grand Slam and it's on................clay.

Doesn't fit. :laugh:

Raonic is moving around more swiftly than ever IMO. His body language seems to be better too. Looks confident. I now see raonic with a shot to go get into the 5-6 seeding consistently, whereas before, I was certain he would be no more than a 8-10ish seed.

Bouchard has a great future. She might be the most marketable Canadian in the world today, never mind her ability on the court.

It's already happening, she's done a bunch of commercials.

I think she has a shot at winning at Roland Garros. If she does, she could move into the top 8, certainly top 10. She'd be the first Canadian women to do so since Carling Bassett in '85.

I have a feeling she's going to win several majors down the road.

Isn't she in the top 10 already?

Hum, She's 16th for now, but she has reached 10th place before.

Also, it's crazy how many point Serena has.. wow.

Bud2790 · Jun 2, 2014

She'll lose close to 2000 points since she was the defending champ and lost in the 2nd round this year. She'll still have a good lead over Li Na though.

Yeah, I figured as much. But she has like 4000 points on Li Na at the moment. Crazy.

Not a good start for Bouchard but still early

MTLAzzurri · Jun 3, 2014

Is there anywhere I can listen or even watch the Bouchard/Milos games online?

TSN 690 is only playing clips. I'm not in Canada if that makes a difference.
