*bunny* · 08-24-2010, 10:54 PM

Morning!

Kei 6-4 5-7 3-1*

The third set alone is already taking 28 minutes after the first three game!
Kei needed so many game points to hold in the second game.

C'mon Kei! You can't spend too long in R1!

*bunny* · 08-24-2010, 10:57 PM

hi

looks like its raining

so frustrating since he was so close to ending it

*bunny* · 08-24-2010, 11:08 PM

Play suspended.

:retard:

I don't believe this...

*bunny* · 08-25-2010, 01:39 AM

Looks like all matches cancelled for the day.

Kei vs Capdeville to continue tomorrow on the same court, the third match. (Why not the second? Usually suspended matches are scheduled the second on the following day!

uzzled:

)

Weather not looking good for tomorrow either. Why don't they start earlier if they schedule seven matches on one court?

Andrea Hlavackova(CZE)[8] vs. Julia Boserup(USA)
Go Soeda(JPN)[2] vs. Yuichi Sugita(JPN)
Kei Nishikori(JPN)[24] vs Paul Capdeville(CHI) To Finish 6-3 5-7 5-2
Steve Johnson(USA) vs. Noam Okun(ISR)

Just now, Japanese TV showed a short highlight of Kei vs Capdeville yesterday as part of their ads for their USO programme.
It was very brief, the announcer just said his serve looked good in the first set, but he made a lot of errors in the second and the rain started falling when he was serving for the match.
Kei was wearing a deep blue shirt in the first set, and a white shirt in the third set.
Court 13 is one of bigger outside courts at Flushing Meadows and there were many Japanese people in the stands.

Hope Kei can wrap up the match quickly!

misty1 · 08-25-2010, 06:54 PM

well he would have to broken twice for capdeville to level things..lets hope that doesnt happen

*bunny* · 08-26-2010, 01:52 AM

The match before Kei's---Soeda vs Sugita---suspended at 1-4 in the third set due to more rains.

WHY DIDN'T THEY PUT ALL THE SUSPENDED MATCHES THE SECOND ON OOP LIKE ANY OTHER TOURNAMENTS!?

*bunny* · 08-26-2010, 02:38 AM

Crap OOP for Thursday. :retard:

Court 13
11:00
Jelena Dokic(AUS)[2] vs. Laura Robson(GBR)
Jordan Cox(USA) vs. Uladzimir Ignatik(BLR)[29]
Julia Cohen(USA) vs. Naomi Cavaday(GBR)

Not Before:14:00
Yuichi Sugita(JPN) vs Go Soeda(JPN)[2] To Finish 6-4 2-6 4-1
Kei Nishikori(JPN)[24] vs Paul Capdeville(CHI)
To Finish 6-3 5-7 5-2
Misaki Doi(JPN) vs. Katie O'Brien(GBR)[19]

Is there any reason Kei can't finish his match before Soeda and Sugita?

:retard:

And in the meantime Kudryavtsev is well rested for two days...
...at least no more rain is expected for the next few days. Sigh...

misty1 · 08-26-2010, 12:33 PM

honestly with the way kei played capdeville and the way kudryavtzev played hos opening round i unfortunately dont expect kei to beat him

and the fact that kudryavtsev will be well rested wont make things easier. Hopefully kei finished the match off quickly and doesnt get broken

misty1 · 08-26-2010, 09:15 PM
