Australia has previously been tantalised by the exploits of a rangy, local teenager who stormed into the quarter-finals at Wimbledon. Somewhere on a Majorcan beach Rafael Nadal is nodding sagely. And he made Raonic, the first Canadian male to reach a Grand Slam semi-final in more than a century, work for his victory, saving three match points in the fourth set tie-break before finally laying down his racket. She's through to face Eugenie Bouchard in the last eight. Kerber misses a first serve and a 79mph second serve is treated with contempt by Sharapova, who crashes a cross-court backhand away for two break points. Two more sets and he's into the quarter-final, most likely one against Roger Federer, who's cruising against Tommy Robredo. "I wear orange tinted glasses for cricket which help reduce glare and also seem to enhance the ball in slightly less than impressive light. Sir is likely to be displeased about being shunted off Centre, but sir has had to make way for Rafael Nadal and Nick Kyrgios, the rising star of Australian tennis. Raonic* 6-7, 6-2, 4-3 Kyrgios Kyrgios needed to hold here, to stop Raonic racing away with his second set in succession and bhe duly moves 30-love ahead until he loses his range with his forehand and puts Raonic level. Juli 2014 machte Nick Kyrgios erstmals auf sich aufmerksam - damals noch rein sportlich. I’m always going to have that now. The Aussie aces to hold. Although it obviously wasn't the desired result for Rafa in the opening set, he has gotten used to falling behind as of late, per Wimbledon's official Twitter account: The hold fest continued throughout the first half of the second set, with each player holding three times apiece. We are sad to see Kyrgios go, of course, though a month ago, when he was losing in the first round of a Challenger event in Nottingham, he could not have dreamt of going out in the quarter-finals at Wimbledon. Fittingly Raonic wins it with an ace down the middle to end Nick's run at Wimbledon in the quarter-finals. There were moments when Kyrgios reprised the exuberance of his big night, particularly in taking the first set on a tie-break. It's 4-4 and Kyrgios has no plans to leave Centre Court for a while. She's made 20 return errors and can't take a break point in the seventh game of the third set. It flies off her racquet, whooshes through the air and stays hit. The serve gets him out of trouble, Raonic getting his racket on both but unable to get them back. Getting silly now. Third-set tie-break: Nadal 1-1 Kyrgios* (*denotes server): A stunning riposte from Nadal, who rips a backhand pass down the line. Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott tweeted. 1-1. Raonic* 6-7, 6-2, 1-2 Kyrgios Kyrgios drops his service game and the advantage when he frames a shot, then sits there berating himself, shaking his head, and chewing his fruit bar. Lisicki leads 4-2 and she's eyeing up the first set greedily now. Hooray! On Court 2, people are amusing themselves with - get this - a Mexican Wave! Even after Raonic levelled at one set all, he broke for a 2-0 lead in the third but tiredness was creeping in and Raonic broke back and then again on his way to go two sets to one up. "But when we see a young player that arrives to the tour and plays a great match or plays a great tournament, people say he will be the next big star. He will serve for it. Might all be in my head though...I guess also sunglasses means you are not squinting so much which I'm sure helps see the ball better.On another note, Lisicki seems to enjoy giving the Wimbledon faithful value for money.". Yet Raonic when thinking he had been handed a winner on a plate, his eyes widen and he perhaps gets blinded by the opportunity and nets it. "Yet still we've cheered for him, hoping against hope that it's surely just a matter of time until his infantile mind catches up with his oversized body. Anything is possible. “It hasn’t really sunk in,” said Raonic, the first Canadian man to reach the last four since 1923, emulating the achievement of Eugenie Bouchard in the women’s event. She then came back to win the game. "Some things are right - sometimes arrive, sometimes not. But the 23-year-old took it 7-4 with more outstanding serving and solid play. Kyrgios moves into a very interesting 0-30 lead after a couple of wayward Nadal shots, but the law is soon laid down by the Spaniard, who rattles through two quick points for 30-all. It's not a strength. The existing Open Comments threads will continue to exist for those who do not subscribe to Independent Premium. And he loves a tie-break. Are you sure you want to mark this comment as inappropriate? Raonic 6-7, 6-2, 6-4, 3-3 Kyrgios* Clinical from Raonic, sealing the hold to love with a withering top-spun disguised forehand winner from the centre of the court after his body shape had sent Kyrgios the wrong way. And Kyrgios is just starting to show a few signs of fatigue - but still has more than enough in the tank to keep producing moments of magic. Kerber pounds Sharapova's forehand; the error follows. Im Achtelfinale von Wimbledon schlug er erstmals Rafael Nadal, als Nummer 144 der Welt. I need to go and sit in a dark room and have a lie down. Raonic* 6-7, 6-2, 6-4, 1-2 Kyrgios Kyrgios holds his serve and then chows down on a banana. The intimacy of these courts lends itself to the showman and in Kyrgios the game has unearthed an exemplar of the breed. Really you're supposed to do that at the change of ends. First-set tie-break: Kyrgios* 1-0 Nadal (*denotes server): A crunching forehand from Kyrgios. The ball flies long and Halep has one foot in the last four. The scalp of Richard Gasquet, against whom he saved nine match points, as well as Nadal’s, tells us he is no flash in the pan. And now he's saved a fourth. 30-0. You can see this going 7-6, 6-7, 7-6, 6-7, 108-106. The M Raonic v N Kyrgios Wimbledon 2014 Live Video Stream is available here. Raonic 6-7, 6-2, 6-4, 1-1 Kyrgios* Raonic shows that he is not the one-dimensional player he's been painted as, driving a deep forehand to Kyrgios's backhand and shifting quickly to plant the volley out of Kyrgios's range. Kyrgios's necklace glitters. A stern, purposeful walk to the net to greet her stricken opponent will do. We have just seen something special: Nick Kyrgios. Or maybe it's just a precaution and Shvedova is like Cyclops out of the X-Men. Kyrgios is two points from winning the first set. First-set tie-break: Kyrgios* 4-0 Nadal (*denotes server): Nadal loops wide off a second serve. Can he level it... Do iPads travel faster than the speed of light? It should still be Kyrgios's point but he misses a lazy volley. Brilliant return wins the break and then doubles it, driving the ball down the line. Any error he makes, though, Raonic can match, attempting to go down the line and netting when he had a break point and three-quarters of the court in which to strand Kyrgios. But his serve is. What a shot. That's more like the first set. Raonic* 6-7, 5-2 Kyrgios Raonic has found his range with his returns and breaks Kyrgios to 30, the young Australian looking a little preoccupied by his disappointment and frustration at losing his serve earlier. Milos Raonic vs. Nick Kyrgios 2014 Wimbledon Pick, Odds, Prediction 7/3/14: Wimbledon free preview, analysis, prediction and pick against the spread. ... Of course I have nothing to lose out there. Kyrgios might not win this match - I doubt he will - but he is going to be some player. 1-1. Does she have an opinion? He's aggressive but controlled, a killer on the court and a puppy dog off it. 6-4... Nick holds his two service points and forces Raonic to serve it out. Not many athletes are as headstrong as her. A tweener that turned into an outrageous winner, to the astonishment of Nadal, me and everyone else here. Facing a break point in the third set, incredibly she raised her arm and walked to her chair, spoke to the umpire and called a medical time-out. I don't remember if I ever served that slow in my life before so that's why I had to call my trainer, I couldn't lift my arm.
