My first thread, and you're stealing it..doh!
No worries Nitb

I think they differ more than it may appear at first site.
For now the way i see it is:
Delpo is a builder: uses what's on the court
Raonic is a creator: comes up with his own ideas

Yes there are similarities but Rao's serve is certainly a more devastating weapon and his FH seems more agressive actually. I also think he moves a bit better.

"I think they differ more than it may appear at first site."

that was the idea of the thread, I, too think they are quite different, Delpo, although aggressive, plays safer than Raonic, is a more fluid lateral mover, he is not letting his size hinder him at all.
Raonic is not as fluid as Delpo but his game is more raw in attacking direction, in some ways he reminds me of Petra Kvitova, unpolished gem that instinctively goes forward.
That's why I think he needs to utilize that serve and tune his game into forward moving more.
His inside-out forehand is good enough for it.
He's got a lot of potential and a got temperament on him which is promising.

I think Delpo is going to be a world class player in years to come, up there in the top four for a while. Will Ranic be able to do that as well? That's a possibility!

Raonic is certainly proving to be a very exciting talent - it will be fascinating to watch him on the hardcourt swing.

so long as he's in Nadal's quarter
