US OPEN, Flushing Meadows, NY, USA, GRAND SLAM (Men)

[Billie]

Just tuning in. Hi folks! Stan is walkabout? Kie is dialed in?

Yeah, Stan is catching up with Kei.

Did you go outside? Is it really that hot and humid?

 

[Billie]

That was pretty Stan!!!

 

[Moxie]

Looks like someone woke Stan up.

 

[britbox]

Opportunity knocks for the Swiss?

 

[britbox]

Don't know why Kei is throwing in droppers on points like that.

 

[Billie]

Kei fights off the set point. Huge hold for him.

 

[Moxie]

Yeah, Stan is catching up with Kei.

Did you go outside? Is it really that hot and humid?

I'm basically made of asbestos, but everyone is complaining about the heat and humidity. It IS very humid. 85 degrees C. But my experience with the new roof structure, even when it's not closed, is that there is no moving air in there. It will be hot and close, I imagine.

 

[Carol]

It's true, the crowd is not so loud anymore, the first three days were the worst

 

[Moxie]

Is Kei suffering the heat? He needs to serve better than this. Stan looks like he's feeling it...and not the heat.

 

[britbox]

The Stanimal roars!! Game on!

I can handle heat, but not humidity.

I think Kei is starting to feel it physically a bit. Stan looks stronger now. 1 set all.

 

[britbox]

This match has completely turned on it's head in the last 5 games.

 

[Billie]

Kei needs to find a 2nd wind.

 

[Carol]

I think Novak would like to see Nishi at the other side of the net than Stan

 

[britbox]

I think Novak would like to see Nishi at the other side of the net than Stan

Definitely.

 

[britbox]

Kei needs to find a 2nd wind.

Kei's lost all the intensity of the first one and half sets.

 

[britbox]

Break for Stan...

 

[Billie]

Kei's lost all the intensity of the first one and half sets.

Yeah, he is losing steam. Poor break point conversion is not helping him either. More of these grueling points that don't go his way is not going to help him.

 

[Moxie]

Well, there's some intensity! Kei had better do like Halep the other day. Fight his ass off.

 

[Carol]

Soon Nishi is going to star to limp.....
