ATP:Roger Federer books final date with Milos Raonic


Recommended Posts

Roger Federer crushed Grigor Dimitrov to reach the final of the Brisbane International and move within one win of his 1,000th career victory.

The Swiss maestro produced a classy display to brush aside his young challenger, dubbed 'Baby Fed', 6-2 6-2 in just 53 minutes.

Federer will now play Milos Raonic in Sunday's final after the big-serving Canadian blasted 34 aces past Kei Nishikori to win the first semi-final:6-7 7-6 7-6.

If Federer wins his 83rd career title he will join Jimmy Connors and Ivan Lendl as just the third man to chalk up 1,000 ATP match wins.

The 33-year-old holds a 7-1 win record over Raonic, one of the new young guns starting to make their mark on the game.

Dimitrov is also regarded as one of the most promising emerging talents after reaching the semi-finals at Wimbledon last year but he was unable to mount a serious challenge against Federer.

The world No 2 broke Dimitrov in the opening game and then three more times to complete a straight-sets win at the Pat Rafter Arena.

"It's a goal for the season, so I still have time to get to a thousand," said Federer. "I hope it's tomorrow, clearly.

"It's a really big number, no doubt about it. I'd love to get it tomorrow, especially in the finals in an ATP event where most of my wins have come.

"If not tomorrow, I hope it happens at the Australian Open. It has been a lot of the matches, a lot of toughening out plays.

"I don't know if it's a goal, but it would definitely be an incredible milestone to reach."

Raonic defeats Nishikori

In the first semi-final, Raonic blasted 34 aces past Nishikori, including one that was timed at 143.6mph, as he came from behind to win.

The 24-year-old has started the new season in impressive fashion, reaching his 14th career ATP final and avenging his loss to Nishikori in last year's Japan Open final.

Raonic held each of his 18 service games and committed just three double faults in the two-and-a-half hour clash.

"I felt I served really well,” he said. That's held me around, especially in the beginning, because I felt he was getting more and more on top of me at the beginning from the baseline.

"That sort of kept me in it and sort of gave me a chance, and then I was able to create some opportunities in the beginning of the second set.

"After that, it was pretty much straightforward holding from both of us. I felt like with my serve I put a lot of pressure on opponents in tiebreaks, and I was able to use that."

One small error cost Raonic in the first set. After the first eight points in the tiebreaker all went with serve, the Canadian handed Nishikori a mini-break when he dumped a backhand into the net.

That was all Nishikori needed to take the opening set in 49 minutes, with the US Open finalist winning the next two points on his own serve, sealed with a backhand winner.

Raonic, serving at an average of almost 18mph faster than Nishikori, continued his blitz in the second set and the pressure eventually told when Nishikori double-faulted in the tiebreaker, allowing the 25-year-old Canadian to level the match.

The third set also went to a tiebreaker as neither player was able to break each other's serve in a high-quality contest.

Nishikori handed Raonic the advantage when he sprayed a forehand volley wide then the Canadian sealed his win with a devastating return winner.
