Two Canadians to meet in Rogers semi’s

Its been quite a Rogers Cup so far, from major upsets like Ferrer and Murray going down to controversy like Milos taking a 12 minute injury time-out, when you’re really only supposed to have 3 minutes. Its been fun to say the least.

Speaking of Milos Raonic, history was made Thursday when two Canadians advanced to the quarterfinals for the first time since 1989.

Milos and Pospisil in action Friday looking to make more history.

The last time a Canadian was in the semi final was 1969. Earlier in the day on centre court, Vasek Pospisil taking on Nikolay Davydenko. Good start for the Canadian, opening game Pospisil with backhand winner holding serve at love, he’s up 1-0. Pospisil would then get an early break winning a second straight game breaking the Russian who sends it wide. 3rd game off the rally and Davydenko seems to be struggling; he can’t get to the Pospisil winner. After going down 3-0, Nikolay calls for the trainer who checks him out. Davydenko then decides he can’t go anymore and retires from the match after 19 just mins. Pospisil advances to the semis.

Then, it was Milos. Taking on Ernest Gulbis…pick it up….5-4
Raonic’s serve too much for gulbis. 5-5

They’d need a tie breaker. But no problem for Milos. Up 4-1 and Milos too much as Gulbis misses the forehand and he takes it out on his racket. Not the racket’s fault!

Couple of points later, its 6-3 Ace. Milos takes the first set 7-5.

Mom and dad. loving it.

Unfortunately, 2nd set. 1st game. Gulbis able to break Milos.

Gulbis takes the 2nd set 6-4. Match tied at 1.

3rd set and it’s 2-1 Milos with a break point chance.

Gulbis gives it to Milos with the double fault. Milos up 3-1.

However, very next game, Gulbis up love-40 & following a good rally, Milos’ shot goes wide. Gulbis breaks him. 3-2.

Pick it up, Milos with the advantage, going for the break and the match. Gulbis’ shot is in the net. Milos wins! Milos wins!

And yes, it will be Milos Raonic versus Vasek Pospisil in the semi-final on Saturday.
