World Tour Finals: Day 7 - Semifinals - Saturday Nov. 15, Order of Play

[Denis]

You're talking about RG11. I thought you were referring to USO

Yes, I was talking about RG. The US Open he got the crowd behind him miraculously enough. But only at the end of the 5th, and facing 2 MP.

 

[Denis]

Great stuff by Kei.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Well done Kei...He is playing good tennis, gets a BP.

 

[Front242]

What a point from Nishikori to get the break there!

 

[kskate2]

wow

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Wow...what a rally. Nole hit an amazingly risky second serve, so kudos to him there, but Kei won the point.

 

[Denis]

Wow, suburb stuff by Kei. Takes the second.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Kei has 2 SPs. Needs just one. It is huge for Kei to hit a decent % of first serves. Otherwise he has no chance.

On to the third set we go. Unexpected but I will take it. This is one of the better matches so far.

 

[kskate2]

chang looks a lot happier today. heading to decider

 

[DarthFed]

Missed the last few games...pretty shocking given Nole had taken 6 straight games to get up a break at 1-0 in the 2nd.

And what's with Nishi winning 80% of decisive sets in his career? I know he is young but that is still shocking.

 

[Denis]

Level is just insane at the moment.

 

[kskate2]

Novak has to stop the bleeding here

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Kei is punishing Nole's second serves as well.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

No first serves from Nole in this game and he is down 15-40. Let's see if he can get out of this...

that's because he starts many matches slowly and takes awhile to get his rhythm and timing. But once he gets his timing he's pretty tough to deal w/ from the baseline

 

[Denis]

I think we are going to see a couple of breaks in the decider. Not too confident that Novak will take this. Kei better make a better show against the Fedster tomorrow if he wins.

Dominating Djokovic from the baseline is quite a tall task but he is doing it at the moment.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Wow...Nole finds 2 lines to get it to deuce. Kei is impatient though.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Big hold from Nole I think.

 

[Denis]

Phew. Novak looks allright now. A bit more confident now.
