Nishikori played some really aggressive stuff in the first set to break Berdych twice, and he's just taken the second set; 7-5,6-4 win.

Didn't catch the second but really excellent result for Kei to beat the second seed in front of his home crowd.


Really hoping for a Murray/Nishi final.
 
YES! Nishikori to the semi-finals! Either Nishikori or Baghdatis will go to the finals, two of my favorite players.
 
11 PM EST tonight, it should be on streams, including Sky, which is very good:

[1] Andy Murray (GBR)
v
[6] Milos Raonic (CAN)

Berdych doesn't really have much of a problem beating Murray when there is no typhoon in the area. Also, Murray can be vulnerable to an early upset in his usual post-big-final malaise.

I see Berdych as a clear favourite, though Murray obviously also has a chance to win it too.

That's an interesting point you make when trying to make a case for Berdych. Who is after all very well known for his consistency and not losing to random, lower ranked players as opposed to Murray.

Spot on, as expected.

just checked ticket info...day session (only session i believe) starts noon chinese time sunday so midnight us east....but what order?... i assume men's singles second or third so maybe 4 in the morning, ugh...thinking ahead to tsonga-joker..these asian tournaments are even more brutal than oz, but everyone around the world suffers at some point...thing is, i don't have tennis channel right now, so no dvr
 
11PM EST for Murray/Raonic.
12:30AM EST for Tsonga/Lopez.

I think these are the only two matches I will catch, and possibly the finals.
 
Good God, it disgusts me to see those guys suck up to the "modern era".

Guy who knows Baghdatis saying that "he used to be a big hitter around 2006, not so much now". :lol: Blake made him look like a pusher, not even mentioning Gonzalez, Safin etc
 
Of course I'm happy that Raonic has booked a trip to the Tokyo final, but I'm also thrilled for Nishikori that he's also in the final of his home tournament.

I'll be cheering for Raonic but won't be too upset to see Nishikori win.
 
Gosh, what happened to Raonic in the 3rd set? He got bagelled! What happened to his serve? How come he didn't win at least some service games with it? Did it collapse completely? :shock:
