Too good from the world no.1 . I hope Kei can make it interesting in set 2
1st set 61 to Djoker.
Kei is trying to play attacking tennis but making a lot of errors in the process. Djoker is playing safe ping pong not making errors. That’s his secret and it’s working
it is not ‘ safe ping pong’ at all…. :S
Kei serving so poorly. He’s hitting too many CC BH shots, not going to win the rallies playing this way. Kei is playing poorly in general.
did not say he wasn’t 100 percent in press conference, but also did not say that he was 100 percent
Well, I missed the press conference. Might have recognized the error of my ways. My first losing guess: Nishikori to get a set. Sad. Maybe he can find his range next match. I picked him to beat Berdych!
Kei keeps coming to the net but clearly his volleys are not good enough. Better be more selective with his approaches
Kei is not on song at all. Must be lack of practice due to the back injury. He keeps missing giving Djoko a free ride. Everyone said Kei wouldn’t be much use and so it’s turning out to be.
Djokovic is serving very well.
The audience have been short changed.
doubles was awesome
(same story as 2014)
Yes the doubles was very exciting. Every point counted and it went to the wire with both teams giving their all.
Not much was expected of Kei and not much was delivered.
The Bryan Bros have gone down to Bopana/Mergea in straight sets 63 64
