Getting ready for the big one

Chase your dream at Monday’s U.S. Open final.

Good luck on Monday night Kei. You have shown real courage and skill in reaching the finals.

Does anyone have any info on how and when we here in Japan can watch the final?

There is no substitute for adequate preparation. Stay focused, relaxed, and make this game happen. Good luck to Nishikori.

Great he is in the finals! Sad that a major TV station is not following the match. Record subscriptions have been the happy moment for WowWow. I will watch on the Internet at a site I use to watch all sports.

JeffLee, you can watch the finals on WOWWOW, a cable channel at 6 AM on Tuesday, as the match starts at 5PM on Monday.

Thanks, Jazz. Pay TV only, eh?

Best of luck to Kei for the biggest match of his career but I really think he should be taking a rest!

Wish him the best, but I hate the instant media attention, like the woman's soccer, talento agencies must be busting this guys door down to sign a contract.

@ gogogo : exactly. I was thinking the same. Thats Japan for ya! Thats why they will never really dominate any sport as it is only "whats popular due to manipulative media". Just no consistency at all. I love Japan, but this is the shit I don't like.

Good luck :) !

yes the media here are fickle, if he wins itll be shown on TV/newspapers for the next three months, if he loses itll be a minor story on the back pages. its a good thing hes living in the US because if he wins the pressure put on him may effect his future performances as it has other Japanese sport stars

Japan hasn't had any good news recently. I hope he will win and give Japan a little encouragement.

Go get 'em Kei-san !
