Federer defeats Raonic!

Raonic chose to not hit his usual fare of big flatter aces and went with heavy kick and twist serves. Federer had trouble timing them, either forehand or backhand side and let the first set slip in a tiebreaker.

Raonic was serving 30-0 in the very first service game of the second set and had setup a very easy forehand volley putaway with the court wide open. He chose to hit a drop shot which didn't clear the net. He would've had 40-0 but instead, Fed made it 30-30 and broke him right away. Fed stole the momentum at that point.
