Raonic on Federer and Nadal
First topic message reminder :
The Canadian has said what I have noticed quite a few players say over the years, you know what you have to do against Rafa its just very difficult, against Federer you just don't know whats coming and is out of your hands.
Q. You played Nadal twice; you played now Federer. For you, who is the tougher opponent?
MILOS RAONIC: I think it's two different things. I think against Nadal, I feel like I just was able to sort of get more into the match. I feel like if Federer plays well he can just blow you out quicker.
I think Nadal might be tougher to close out just because of how adamant he is and how much he perseveres through things. Against Rafa, I feel like I had it in my hands. I had a few more opportunities in my hands that I didn't execute.
Against Federer, I feel like [that even] if you did the things right he could take it away from you pretty quickly.

Re: Raonic on Federer and Nadal
Thanks for the explanation so on the forehand in tennis ssc would involve loosening the wrist and getting that last bit of snap through the tennis ball? Or when serving how coaches teach you to loosen up your wrist and shoulders to get that whip on the ball. Very interesting, definetly power and spin are impacted by having a loose wrist. But you are right as you loosen up and try to get that snap it does become more risky and more prone to error. I don't know am I getting it right or not lydian?
