– Earlier on last week no one thought that Milos Raonic would be on the Top-10 on the following week : the Canadian was experimenting a rough patch, winning just 2 of his last 7 matches and on a coach changing period ( he dumped Galo Blanco, and hired former Top-5 Ivan Ljubicic). Plus, he was giving us the sensation of having stagnated on his developing, as his ground game developments where nowhere to be seen on 2013.
– The 1,98m. croat has earned himself a chance of re-entering Top-10 after beating Klizan 75 64 60 to reach USO QF [ his first Slam QF since AO 10′] . It will be a tough task, as he faces #4 Andy Murray, who looked in blistering form destroying big server Raonic 64 64 62, but despite that and the fact that Murray has a 6/1 H2H vs Marin, the only win Marin has over Andy was in Flushing Meadows, in 2009 R4.
