however he ended it with that Williams should have waited for her freaking turn, like everybody else. Don't get smart here, think only you know whats going on?

Paire can't buy a first serve right now. Going for too much. But still. None landing. A double fault. Another great point from Kei and it's double break point. Finds a first serve to save the first. But buries the first serve in the net again and Nishikori crushes the second serve again. 4-5. On serve.

I have no words to describe this. Now Nishikori should be broken again I guess, WTA here?
this post is full of shit anyway. since when does someone push into front of queue not to be blamed but we lay the blame the shop staff for not doing their job? I don't care if you are her big fan but this is clearly bs to say she wasn't the one to blame but only the staff who handled it. of course shit like this happens a lot and the perpetrators get away with it because there are many like you....call it twisted morality.

Nishikori just.... man. A warrior. Paire.... just.... I don't even quite know how to describe it. Just finding it harder to get it over the top of the net. Like. He was making those drop shots and floaters on the stretch and now not. Just being stretched just a bit more by Kei. Kei's shots maybe with just a bit more on them. Maybe. And Paire maybe just getting ever so slightly tired. Seems just a step slower maybe. I think that's what it looks like.
Kei serving for it. Paire takes the first battle/point.

I wish we could all be as smart as you mate. By the way I'm not sure how watching the actual film of what happened to Thiem on tv can be called click-bait, but have your way
You can blame the organisers if you want, you can even claim that Serena knew nothing about the interview room being used. It simply wouldn't make sense. She's been around, she knows perfectly well that if she is being asked to wait it's because the room is being used. But as I said we can't see all angles like you can. What I care about is Thiem being slandered for not liking being disrespected

I think that game at 1:4 and later 2:4 were crucial. Paire unable to push a bit more to break Nishikori at 1:4 when Kei looked very weak and later in the next game no need to mention, he gifted him a few points there and that was it. Nishikori was alive again.

Ah a beautiful lob. Just beautiful.
Eck! Just clips the tape. Oy.
Constructs that point so well to get to 40-30. Fantastic footwork and speed to get around the backhand for the forehand down the line.
And gets the final point.
My goodness. What a friggin warrior! Just... never, ever gives up. Never stops believing. And against someone like Paire, you shouldn't. Even down 4-2 40-15. In that time period, Paire was so good and Nishikori had the double faults I finally broke. I said, ok. I like Paire. He's been sensational. Nishikori has never been unbeatable. His serve will always be attackable. I'm ok with this. Paire will not have chances like this often. And almost as soon as I did, there he was. Just battling. Taking the luck he got. Taking full advantage. Seeing it as a sign that Paire can't quite finish it. And .... just truly a remarkable turnaround. 23 and 6 now in five setters. Special. Truly special. Still not the best player in the draw. Can't see him beating Nadal, though I'm hoping for a full on battle. Annndd....
This gets him to his fourth straight slam quarterfinal. First time in his career he's been healthy enough and playing well enough (maybe just some good draws) to get that done. Almost didn't happen. Djere and Paire taking advantage of his weaknesses and doing everything they could to get him done. But with 5 sets available, Nishikori uses every last bit of what's available to him to eek out some tight ones. To let one more shot be good enough. To be one shot better. And that's just about the only difference. Absolute warrior!

Let's hope so. Maybe the last time we see them face off at Roland Garros.
