Re: 2011 Grass Season: Kei in Eastbourne

Thanks for the live scores misty1 (I can understand the frustration I felt from reading your comments :lol:)

Very pleased and happy that Kei can win a match like this, the condition was terrible with the cold wind.
Almost served a breadstick to end the match but Kei started to rush it(maybe from nerves) when trying to close it out. Good fight at the end to hold serve and win 6-2 6-3

I had forgotten the No.3 seed is still alive and it's Tipsarevic, which Kei'll face next :scared:

Re: 2011 Grass Season: Kei in Eastbourne

Thanx misty! :worship:

Great win by Kei! :D
I thought Radek would be tougher but probably Kei adjusted to the wind better because he had played earlier.

Now I really hope for a 4th time lucky for Kei vs Tipsy.
And another win will mean completion of Project 45 because by reaching F here Kei will be ranked 44 or 45 next week. Hope Kei can do away with this s*** this time!!! :rocker2:

I hope nobody reminded him about P45, chances are he's already aware of it.
If he can use it to motivate himself then that's great, but I think he'll have more chance of winning the SF without this psychological barrier.

And the lead in the last set pointed out by misty, he probably won't get such a huge buffer against Tipsy so he needs to be sharper at closing out the match.

Rain delay atm, nothing started yet...

Re: 2011 Grass Season: Kei in Eastbourne

no problem about the live scoring everyone! your welcome :)

it actually helps a bit to do it, lol

anyway let me just say that if he ever does that again..i dont know but watching 5-1 slip away and almost get back on serve was not a pleasant experience. Especially because on every break point he was serving a 2nd serve and i was just so afraid he'd serve a double fault

good luck to him again today, if he can just somehow get past tipsy then a chance for a 2nd title is great as it would be kunitsyn oir seppi in the final

Re: 2011 Grass Season: Kei in Eastbourne

:rain:

Kei's match has been moved to Court 1. So no streaming I guess... :rolleyes:
Tipsy is the only seed left in the draw and why didn't they put him on Centre? :shrug:
No play yet though.

COURT 1 start NB 2:30 pm
[7] S Stosur (AUS) vs [6] M Bartoli (FRA) - WTA
K Nishikori (JPN) vs [3] J Tipsarevic (SRB) - ATP

Re: 2011 Grass Season: Kei in Eastbourne

Friday was washed out too. :rain:
So they're on double duty again. :(

CENTRE COURT start 10:30 am
[7] S Stosur (AUS) vs [6] M Bartoli (FRA) - WTA
K Nishikori (JPN) vs [3] J Tipsarevic (SRB) - ATP

Not Before 1:30 PM
[7] S Stosur (AUS) or [6] M Bartoli (FRA) vs [5] P Kvitova (CZE) or D Hantuchova (SVK) - WTA SINGLES FINAL

Not Before 3:30 PM
K Nishikori (JPN) or [3] J Tipsarevic (SRB) vs I Kunitsyn (RUS) or A Seppi (ITA) - ATP SINGLES FINAL

Seppi and Kunitsyn's SF is scheduled first on Court 2, so they will finish the match earlier than Kei and Tipsy. I know it's because Seppi is in the doubles final too, but the winner of this match can rest longer before the final, which seems a bit unfair. :shrug:

Hoping for better weather today!
