Bonzai Kei!!

(I'm wondering if Kieran was correct when he said Stan reached his peak in Oz, never to repeat it.)

 

[kskate2]

Kei is picking things up while Stan is slowing things down. 2 BPs for Kei

 

[Moxie]

Kei gets the break, first chance!

 

[Front242]

Mr. Inconsistency is in trouble yet again.

 

[kskate2]

a magnificent return and Kei leads 42

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

the feathers of tennis flap in the direction of the japanese warrior.

 

[nehmeth]

Up a break here and I bet Uniqlo is salivating at the prospect of both their guys making the USOpen semi.

 

[kskate2]

5-2

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well done Kei,winning three consecutive games.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Kei is really surprising me. he is going for it. Up 5-2 with a break.

 

[DarthFed]

Not over yet but surprised Stan is having such problems here.

 

[Front242]

Bonzai Kei!!

(I'm wondering if Kieran was correct when he said Stan reached his peak in Oz, never to repeat it.)

He played a great final set against Robredo too that I'd say was every bit as good as the Oz final but between that and a good TB against Bellucci I can't personally say I recall anything special about his performances the rest of the year and that includes Monte Carlo which he won. Roger really blew that match and Stan didn't play anything special.

 

[kskate2]

The reality is Stanimal has peaks and valleys like all the other players outside the big 4.

 

[Front242]

Stan seems to content to blow the set right here.

 

[kskate2]

SP for Nishi

 

[Front242]

Wish he'd stop with those annoying stares up to his box all the time.

 

[kskate2]

who Stan?

 

[kskate2]

Stan finally holds. 5-3

 

[Front242]

who Stan?

Yup. Annoys the hell out of me. He does it more than most of the men.
