Is Jamie M responsible for that ghastly racket at each change of ends?  furious

 It is dreadful, isn't it?

Certainly is, especially as to seems to encourage Bouncy & Lloyd to talk more loudly over it!  no

Oh, what joy. Bouncy and John "Mr Jolly" Lloyd have been brought back out of storage yet again. 

 Just got in from work and excited to catch some of Cams match, now spoilt by this bleh

Another early exit for Cam.

I heard commentary say that Raonic's second serve was harder than Cam's first.

Raonic served 47 aces.

Really not happening for Cam at the moment. But you cant do much when your opponent is serving like that!

 That's 12 games of aces. And Norrie had 2 match points too. Don't think we can draw too much from this match.

To be fair to Cam, the guys serving 2 1/2 aces per service game. Raonic served 110 points and so that is 1 point in 2 nearly as an ace. Cam actually did well to take the final set to such a close match tie break. On this occasion, I dont think we can really question if Cam played well or not, in the points he played he did well! Cam won 26 out of 63 points on the Raonic serve when it wasnt an ace, first and second serves. So he didnt do badly. Just those damned aces.

Frankly, whoever paid £150 or whatever for tickets today got absolutely had

Raonic blasting aces, Cam losing, a Dimitrov walk in the part, one match the didn't get finished even though the weather has been glorious, the only decent match ending early as Tiafoe got injured, and the 7th seed (who the crowd like) getting knocked out

 He was ok in the Wimbledon final where he lost to Andy. But yes, not exactly known for being exciting to watch.

Having paid to fly to Miami to watch the tennis and it being rained off the entire day, only to THEN fly to Paris for the French and the same thing happen, I would struggle to sympathize. Ha! :(

 I was on court 1 at Wimbledon in 2016 - Raonic v Querry. Not the most entertaining match - 4 sets of big serving.
