10 Tennis Players Who Could Take Over The Sport

6. Milos Raonic

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfncD6alvmc The four grand slam tournaments are where the good and the great tend to part ways, and this year more so than any other in recent times has seen a gang of newcomers crashing the gates. Stan Wawrinka lifted the trophy at the Australian Open, Gulbis made it to the semis at the French, Cilic and Nishikori contested the US Open final, and Wimbledon wasn€™t spared the invasion. Milos Raonic powered his way through the bottom half of the draw before coming unstuck in a one-sided semi-final defeat to Roger Federer, but he shouldn€™t be too disheartened; this has been a banner year for the young Canadian, seeing him rise as high as sixth in the rankings. Wimbledon was his first major semi-final, but it€™s safe to say it won€™t be his last. The pleasing thing about Raonic is the steady progress he€™s made year on year, and 2015 could well see him become a champion at one of the majors. Why he could take over the sport: His backhand is clearly the weaker wing, and an area in which he will have to improve to become the sport€™s dominant player. That aside, he€™s all set to mount a challenge €“ Raonic has arguably the best serve on the men€™s tour, and his forehand is a fearsome weapon. Whether he has the mentality to reach the top is another matter.

I watch movies and I watch sport. I also watch movies about sport, and if there were a sport about movies I'd watch that too. The internet was the closest thing I could find.
