This is a tight one. And I'd really like to go to bed. Compelling match.

I am checking out after this set as well. Early morning tomorrow...

Kei grabs the mini break early again.

Not this time. Onto the TB.

Then, game the TB. I'm going 7-5 Nishkori.

 

[Murat B.]

Well played point by Milos. Kei up 2-1, serving.

Sounds about right.

 

[Murat B.]

I don't even remember when Milos lost two TBs in a row but today might be it.

Apparently it was against Kei in Madrid. Go figure...

 

[nehmeth]

A DF??? Really?! C'mon Kei.

 

[Murat B.]

Set point MIlos, on Kei's serve.

 

[Murat B.]

Milos got too excited there...wasted it.

 

[Moxie]

This feels like the match, same as Wawrinka v. Robredo.

 

[mrzz]

With the DF and the easy forehand miss, KN gives away the set.

Need to sleep. Enjoy the match.

 

[Murat B.]

Best backhand return of the match from Milos to get a set point on his serve...and he wins the set despite being the lesser player by far...He played a mature TB though.

Well, congrats to the eventual winner and a good night to everyone.

:clap

One more set to Milos

 

[GameSetAndMath]

This is terrible. Kei played the best in the third set in comparison to the previous sets and
yet lost.

Despite leading twice in the TB, he gave them back.

Hope Kei can recover and fight till 7 a.m. so that I can wake up and watch up the last
TB.

Nishikori gave that set away with two silly errors while having the mini break.

So many chances and so many mistakes. And it just doesn't seem like Raonic is playing that well. For Nishikori to miss like he has a couple times is just so frustrating. Nishikori should have broken at least once in that set. Very frustrating. He's got to stay focused though now. Find a way to get the break and take it to 5. Definitely pulling for him to make the quarters and hopefully the semis from there over Wawrinka. The funny thing is, I think whoever wins this is the favorite against Wawrinka. Because he's not a great returner, so Raonic would have an advantage. He's a solid returner, but not as good as Nishikori even. And then I think Nishikori would deal well with Wawrinka. But of course, I could be wrong and he could waltz right over both of them. Hope not though.
