“It’s that way always”, said Raonic of his serve.

That’s it for Raonic.
Serbian professional tennis player, Novak Djokovic is now the world’s No. 1 tennis player in men’s singles by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP).
In Friday’s quarter-final, Wawrinka brushed aside Anderson 6-1, 6-3, taking advantage of the South African’s poor serving to cruise to victory in one hour and 13 minutes. “So, I hope I can get revenge this time”. There were moments where I rushed.
“I love to play when it’s crowded, and if the crowd is for the other one, it’s fine”, said Monfils, adding with a smile: “I expect a very good match”. “He likes to play quick, and I think the warm day like today played a lot in his favor”.
Despite the result, the crowd was into this one, and from the start.
And “Mi-los” (clap, clap, clap) “Rao-nic!” He went out in an opening match a year ago to Nick Kyrgios and got to the third round in 2014.
Djokovic struggled against Muller in his first hard-court match since March, both with his serves and his short game.
For his part, Raonic plans to keep controlling the pace of his matches, even against a ranked opponent like the 10th-seeded Monfils.
“That wasn’t easy, but I’m happy with the way I played in general and the win”, Wawrinka said. I made a decision to go out and to try, but yeah, obviously it didn’t work out against such a good player.
Although Novikov managed two consecutive breaks of his own to level at 4-4, Nishikori won the last two games to claim the set. “It was a physical match, I had to run a lot”.
“I was disappointed to lose serve twice in the second set when I was up a break, but I was just glad to close this out in straight sets”.
Monfils was particularly successful drawing Raonic to the net then using a slicing backhand to put the ball behind him.
In the quarter-finals of the women’s event in Montreal, Slovakian qualifier Kristina Kucova inflicted a shock 6-4, 6-3 defeat on 15 seed Johanna Konta.
“I have to dictate”, said Raonic.
He ended the game with a 189 km/h ace.
Prediction: Raonic in 2 sets. “Although I’m already a bit exhausted but they help me through”.
No. 10 Monfils will play top-seeded Novak Djokovic in the semifinals of the tournament at York University’s Aviva Centre on Saturday. Lastly, we also won with Gael Monfils in a back-and-forth match.
You can’t argue with that.
The veteran of the two, Nestor, said it was “sad to see Milos lose tonight”. Think about it this way: is golf better when Tiger Woods isn’t teeing it up?
If you misuse your barbecue, you’re literally playing with fire.

Their most recent meeting came at the US Open past year. Not enough people on Grandstand. He also has a highly supportive Canadian crowd to cheer him along.
