The first two sets were the standard, hard-hitting affairs that were expected between two of the larger and more athletic players on the ATP Tour, ultimately trading 6-3 sets. Then the third set happened. 8-all. 12-all. Neither man had approached a break of serve.
The most explosive match of the Olympic tournament so far happened on Court 1 between Milos Raonic and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. The three set affair was an example of just how fast grass courts can be. Both men served very well, but Roanic especially. Plenty of muscle was flexed on groundstrokes as well.
