US Open Day 8: Monday, September 1

[Murat B.]

Stan is also 3-0 against Milos.

 

[DarthFed]

Yeah Stan is definitely the big favorite. We all know what he can do when he is in Stanimal mode. He also is the only threat to the Djokovic from that quarter whereas I can see Stan, Milos and Kei all troubling Andy if he beats Novak.

 

[Murat B.]

Amazing return gives Kei 3 BPs.

 

[mrzz]

What a return from KN!!!

 

[Murat B.]

Milos saves 2 BPs, Kei has one more...saved by a huge serve. Back to deuce.

 

[Murat B.]

Deep return jams Milos, gives another BP for Kei...but nasty kicker sets up an easy forehand for Milos.

 

[Murat B.]

Another high kicker gives MIlos the game. Big hold from 0-40 down. Let's see how Kei will react .

 

[Moxie]

I have to say, Kei is at least getting a lot of those serves back. Let's see if he can hold here.

 

[Moxie]

The underestimated serve: Nishikori's. Holds at love.

 

[Murat B.]

Two amazing returns in a row for Kei. Reading the serves like a book.

 

[Murat B.]

Another break point after yet another return winner from Kei.

 

[Murat B.]

Great volley under pressure from Milos and Kei with some amazing wheels gets to it but Milos saves the BP.

 

[Murat B.]

MIlos comes up with his best backhand of the match to save another BP.

 

[mrzz]

Ok, great bh from Raonic to save a break point.

 

[Murat B.]

MIlos gets out of it again. Huge hold.

 

[Murat B.]

Milos's turn for the amazing return. Huge forehand.

 

[Riotbeard]

Kei is playing great.

 

[Murat B.]

Kei is playing great.

His read of the serve is amazing...and he has serious wheels too.

 

[Murat B.]

Milos shows his wheels to get to that drop and hit the winner.

 

[Murat B.]

Kei up 6-5. He has been holding comfortably while Milos had to save 8 BPs I think, to stay on serve. Kei has been the better player in this set hands down.
