As it is a working day, they decided to put Murray in the evening as the locals might be
interested in seeing him.

On Thursday, Fed vs. Murray will obviously be in the evening.

The upshot of all this is that Kei gets all day matches (as he is from the land of the rising sun).

Happy Armistice Day everyone--don't forget what today was all about in world history. Enjoy the tennis.

 

[Riotbeard]

Come on Kei!

 

[kskate2]

The upshot of all this is that Kei gets all day matches (as he is from the land of the rising sun).

I don't think Kei cares when he plays. He appears to be the most uninterested of the top players when it comes to scheduling.

 

[kskate2]

Good save volley from Fed.

 

[Riotbeard]

Another break opportunity for Kei!

 

[kskate2]

Kei is painting lines like a street paving crew.

 

[kskate2]

Bad error there. deuce

 

[kskate2]

Fed escapes. 2-1

 

[Riotbeard]

Bad error there. deuce

Both guys have had great and poor shots. Kei has looked the more dominant from the baseline though.

 

[kskate2]

BP Fed

 

[Riotbeard]

Fed gets first blood.

 

[kskate2]

And there's the break. It's the hangover game. Nishi couldn't break and now his serve is broken. 3-1

 

[kskate2]

Ouch! That was a Novak OH.

 

[Riotbeard]

Too many unforced errors from Kei.

 

[kskate2]

Too many unforced errors from Kei.

yeah. Sometimes it takes him a few games to settle in. Hopefully the set doesn't get away before he finds his game.

 

[kskate2]

5-2
