S2E4: Watching Japan’s Kei Nishikori play at the Australian Open in 41ºC Heat
The Chant: Ni-SHI-KORI Kei Kei Kei .... Ni-SHI-KORI Kei Kei Kei.
It was January 16th 2014 at the Australian Open. It was 41ºC or 106ºF (even hotter at court-level). Myself and brother were watching Japanese tennis legend Kei Nishikori and Serbia's Dušan Lajović slug it out on a side-court, and it was EPIC! And freakin' HOT!
Kei Nishikori defeated Dušan Lajović 6-1, 6-1, 7-6(3) at the Australian Open in 2014.
