BARCELONA ATP 500 - 20th April to 26th April

[tented]

Kei holds. Pablo will have to serve at 4-5 to stay in the match.

Tracy Austin is an idiot. In an attempt to compliment Lendl for developing the notion of changing racquets when there's a ball change, and for being so detail oriented, she just called Lendl "the Lance Armstrong of tennis". :cover

Fortunately, Annacone and Carillo quickly stepped in, but nevertheless ...

That was horrendous! What could possibly be on her feeble mind? :cover :nono uzzled :angel: :dodgy:

I think you answered your own question.

 

[tented]

Oh boy ... Pablo double faults to give Kei championship point.

 

[tented]

Congrats, Kei! :clap :celeb:

 

[Moxie]

Oh, well, great job by Kei. Nice week from Pablo, anyway.

 

[Fiero425]

Congrats, Kei! :clap :celeb:

I think that puts him about 100 points behind Nadal who has a lot of points to defend in Madrid and Rome! :angel: :dodgy:

 

[Riotbeard]

Congrats to Kei! He puts the pressure back on Rafa to defend Madrid or win Rome in order to protect his 4th seed into RG.

 

[Fiero425]

Beat ya by a minute! Sorry! :angel: :dodgy: :ras:

Kei Nishikori vs Pablo Andujar CEREMONY Barcelona 2015

[GameSetAndMath]

They need to scratch their heads in the seeding house though. Samurai is #1 seed? :lolz: :lolz:

It is better to have last laugh! :laydownlaughing:laydownlaughing:laydownlaughing

That's fair enough, I asked for that...

 

[Kirijax]

Just woke up to see that Nishikori took his second straight Barcelona title! :woohoos

Way to go Kei! :clap

I guess they got it right for Nishikori to be seeded No. 1! :snicker What happened to the "rightful" No. 1 seed again? :laydownlaughing

Now it's time for Nishikori to start winning Masters and a Grand Slam. A Djokovic-Nishikori French Open final would be very interesting.

That would be watchable; either result! :angel: :dodgy:

Samurai might be the only one who can challenge Djoker on clay right now.

 

[tented]

Samurai might be the only one who can challenge Djoker on clay right now.

I think it will depend on how cleanly he can move through the first few rounds. If Kei has to win multiple five-setters, like he did at the USO, but this time on clay, there's a good chance he will be worn out by the time he gets to Novak -- a guy we know is fully capable of going the distance.

Very true. Somebody will need to wear out Djokovic for a couple of rounds while Nishikori zooms through without dropping a set.

 

[Denis]

Just watched the highlights. Kei has such a sweet backhand, love it. Great job defending his title here, one of the best 500 events.

 

[Carol]

I haven't seen the match but I was told that Andujar been the #66 ranked has given a tough time to Nishi but his double fault in the most critical moment of the second set has helped the Japenese to win.
I think Nishi could win Roma, maybe Madrid too and for sure RG...

I would love to see that second set, if someone can post it I would appreciate it a lot, thanks in advance
