Re: The " 2009 Oi Oi Down Under Season - Brisbane International" Main Draw thread
 

Good luck Kei! :yeah:

Re: The " 2009 Oi Oi Down Under Season - Brisbane International" Main Draw thread
 

Kei's name is not on tomorrow's OOP, I guess his first round match will be on Tuesday.
Qualie matches haven't finished so his first ronud opponent will be known late tomorrow.

Good luck, Kei! :yippee:


Thanx to esther for the thread, nice title! :D

OOP for tomorrow:
http://www.brisbaneinternational.com...01/op-6109.pdf

Kei's match is the fourth on Show Court 2.
His opponent is yet to be announced (not all the qualie matches are over yet).
Good luck, Kei! :spoton:

Re: The " 2009 Oi Oi Down Under Season - Brisbane International" Main Draw thread
 

Kei's opponent tomorrow is Bobby Reynolds.
As you remember, Reynolds was one of the guys Kei beat en route to victory in Delray Beach last year.
At least they know each other's game very well.
Although Bobby improved quite a lot over the year, I think Kei will be fine. :yeah:
Ganbareeee! Kei! :yippee:

I don't like to say this, but I'm not so optimistic. Reynolds should be a favourite in this one:o
Anyway, Go Kei:D

Re: The " 2009 Oi Oi Down Under Season - Brisbane International" Main Draw thread
 

Kei takes the first set after 34 minutes. 6-3 :)
And he breaks in the first game of the second set! *1-0 :yippee:
