Re: Kei makes return in Cincy
I wish Kei can exert a more positive attitude!! Sometimes the slumps just drives me crazy >.<
Unless something health related is bothering him...

Re: Kei makes return in Cincy
adv. kei
i think its just that kei is rusty after being out ..we didnt see any of his qualifying matches but i can bet they werent very pretty either
the only difference is that against nalby he isnt being allowed to get away with this level of play

Yeah I agree he's a bit rusty from lack of matches, but Nalby is nowhere near "good" form either.
Kei needs to work out how to win even when he's not hitting well, but he should know a thing or two about winning ugly from Brad...
His game is a bit too patchy, some other players in the top 50 with similar style share the same problem but the successful ones manages to chain more wins together.

Re: Kei makes return in Cincy
Kei currently up against 6'6 lefty Carsten Ball of Australia.
I think it's a good test for Kei and beneficial in many aspects if he can get past Ball without too much stress.
Kei 2-1*

Re: Kei makes return in Cincy
Hey bunny(if you see this), can you edit the thread title now that Kei's playing in the Winston-Salem open?
Had a set point after going to deuce, under 60% 1st serve from Kei...no ace yet and 4 dfs.
but gets the 1st set 6-3, think it took like 5 attempts. He did saved 4/4 bps though.
