I just finished watching 2014 Wimbledon semi-final. Milos Raonic advanced to face Roger Federer (my heartthrob) after defeating Nick Kyrgios, a new upper-n-comer Aussie. MR showed promise but...

RF won 6-4,6-4,6-4.

Generally the match was dominated by aces only. 

First I thought to play by aces initially is a good strategy. It saves players' time and energy which they can expend only when needed at the crucial time. But MR had no game other than aces which made it a dull match. At rallies which were very few, may be two or three, RF clobbered MR.

All in all not a thrilling match. RF's talent was no tapped. I was disappointed.

Alas!
