  Way toooo expensive to compete with the likes of other tennis racquet manufactures, such as ,wilson,, prince, Babolat etc.... I don,t think it,s a great selling point the grip, I just use a vibration dampner which does the same thing for only 300 yen...To sum it up when you think of Bridgestone, you don,t think of Tennis...

  @Foxie Don,t get me wrong Kei is a great player, current ranking 28 in the world, but your forgetting for him to win a grandslam title, he has to win 7 matches in a row, consisting of the top 128 players with the likes of Djoko, Nadal ,,Federer, murray, Berdych ,Ferrer etc. But you never know....

  Almost mission impossible even without playing Djokovic, Mind you, if Kei can continue his form from The OZ open they might have a chance, but the big Karlovic better have an off day with his serve, if they stand a chance...

  I,ve flown jetstar on many occassions to OZ from Japan and I can,t really complain, I mean I,ve had delays but I,ve also had lengthy delays with other airlines as well ,so at the end of the day i,m quite happy for jetstar to fly domestically in Japan, we need more competition for the consumers, espescially in Japan which really has been a monopoly between the big two...

  @tmarie Tennis is a sport in which the spectators have to be quiet and still during when the points are being played, therefore the only noise you hear are the players releasing their inner exursions...The point is, I,m sure many of the athletes in the category of "non contact sports" grunt or say something, but is muffled out by the crowd and or spectators...

  Kei took a while to get out of the blocks,but have to give credit where due,Ebden was playing well above his ranking watch out for tomic he has full support of the crowd and an unothodox kind of game that can topple anyone, as for Kei he can,t allow himself to be stuck in1st gear against someone like tsonga or the joker ..

  If kei can stay injury free he should be able to go deep in this slam,however he has to get passed Ebden who will have full support of his new adopted country...

  Agree with most of the mentioned stuff but I disagree with alcohol.. In Australia you,ll pay betwwen 35 to 44 AUD$ to buy a 700ml bacardi ,sminoff vodka,JW BLK , I can pick them up here for 1000 JPY also wine is dirt cheap here as well ,you can pick up a decent bottle of Bordeaux for 1000JPY,... Compared to Australia, Japan is cheaper, absolutely no question, from Daycare to property.......
