Milos Raonic has been consistently good, and bad, all week. He has played four matches and they have all had familiar stories. First set Raonic, Second set setback, and third set perseverance to come out on top.
This story continued Saturday in Memphis as Raonic defeated tough american Mardy Fish in three sets, 6-4,4-6,6-3. There was exactly one break of serve in each set, but Raonic was far more efficient in the break point chances he received - leading to his victory today.
Raonic continued his typical powerful service performances with another 20 plus ace masterpiece. Fish only seemed in the match whenever Raonic dropped his level of play. This bodes well for Raonic in the future as he develops as a player who can dictate a match often wins it.
Raonic will play Sunday against the winner of Saturday's second semi-final between Andy Roddick and Juan Martin del Potro.
In other tennis action Saturday in Memphis, Canadian Rebacca Marino will play her first WTA final event at 5pm pacific. Catch the action on SportsNet One in Canada.
