I dont think he was at his best and I think thats a bit of a warning sign for everyone else that he can still get better, said Sky Sports tennis analyst Shiras.He was certainly good enough when it counted and that was the growing sign of a growing elite player that you play your best when the pressure is on and you can deliver. Raonic was delighted after defeating Thiem to go through to the semi-finals of the World Tour Finals I think what you see in him is not only growing talents, but more of an all-court game, comfortable in all parts and of course his growing belief. Hes four in the world and although he hadnt won a Masters event or a Grand Slam, these are the steps of progression that hes sort of leading up to.Being in the semi-finals here hes given himself a great chance to maybe pull one off here, its very much within his reach and he has the weapons to do it. Raonic says he drew inspiration from Pete Sampras serve when he joined Leif at the SkyPad There could be a rematch of the Wimbledon final and Australian Open semi-final between Raonic and Britains world No 1 Andy Murray in the last four, depending on how the other group plays out on Friday and Shiras says if it is Andy Murray, then he had better watch out.On an indoor hardcourt, I think the conditions suit Raonics game really well so Andy Murray will have to play well, said the former professional.

Capitals head coach Adam Oates said Ovechkin was injured in the first period against the Vancouver Canucks on Monday and clarified it was not a head injury.Mitchell Marsh had a fine day with ball and then bat as Australia beat New Zealand by four wickets in Wellington in the second one-day international to level the series. The Black Caps posted 281 for nine from their 50 overs, Marsh snaring two of the top four in six-over figures of 2-30, with Kane Williamson (60) top-scoring and Mitchell Santners late unbeaten 45 boosting the hosts total.Australia looked in trouble at 197 for six, despite a superb knock of 98 from 79 balls from David Warner, but Marsh (69 not out) and John Hastings (48no) got the tourists over the line with an unbroken 86-run seventh-wicket stand.Having won the toss and elected to bat, New Zealand would have been hoping for a mammoth score especially after some early fireworks from Brendon McCullum.The right-hander hit three sixes and two fours in his final innings in Wellington before his 12-ball cameo came to an end when Scott Boland clipped his off stump with his score on 28.Martin Guptill was below his usual explosive best and, when he went for 31 and Henry Nicholls followed 11 balls later, the hosts had slipped to 95 for three in the 18th over.Williamson and Grant Elliott steadied the ship, though, the former manoeuvring the ball on both sides of the wicket to bring up his fifty off 71 balls, and they were in good shape as they passed 150 in the 29th over.However, Williamson and Elliott (32) both departed in the space of two overs and their innings looked like being derailed until Santner and Adam Milne (36) came together at 205-7 in the 41st over.The pair began to find the boundary and put on 61 in 44 balls to drag New Zealand towards the 300 mark.Warner and Usman Khawaja (50) gave Australia a solid start to their response with a 122-run partnership.Khawaja brought up his fifty with a single from the first ball of the 17th over before departing from the next delivery when he chipped a return catch back to bowler Santner. David Warner, spearheading the run chase, fell two runs short of his century The middle order failed to deliver - captain Steve Smith (2) and George Bailey (0) departing in successive balls at the hands of Matt Henry, and Glenn Maxwell (6) bowled by Trent Boult - but that only served to speed up Marshs arrival.ddddddddddddWarner was sent back two short of his hundred when he was adjudged lbw off the bowling of Santner after a review, leaving Australia 191-5 and the match in the balance. Watch Adam Milne joined the ranks of spectacular boundary catches for New Zealand during their second ODI against Australia. Matthew Wade (2) did not last long - falling to a wonderful left-handed catch on the mid-wicket boundary, which secured Santner his third wicket - but, when Hastings joined Marsh in the middle, the writing was on the wall for the home team.Marsh overpowered New Zealand with nine fours and a six in his 72-ball innings, while Hastings - five fours and one six - produced some neat shots to find the gaps before unleashing a few big hits of his own in the closing stages to guide Australia to victory from 46.3 overs.The teams head into Mondays third and final ODI in Hamilton with the series finely poised at 1-1.Watch the deciding match of the series in Hamilton, live on Sky Sports 2 HD from 00.55 on Monday, February 8 ' ' '
