Go! Kei Final Nobu

 

Nobu was TV watching games today. However, I believed victory of Kei and supported you.

Congratulations on Rakuten Japan Open championship. I will support you with a friend next year.

Yutaka , Toshi

早朝プレーヤー Toshi と Yutaka ツーショットです。毎朝5時50分頃から Toshi コートにやって来ます。二人プレーやが来てシングルス・ダブルスでゲームを開始しています。6時20分頃 Yutaka が加わりダブルスゲームを行い6時40分過ぎゲームを終了し引き上げて行きます。Toshi とプレーするには、早起きが必要です!!

keiに陳謝 Nobu

今日はJapan Heiva観戦のためKeiの応援ができませんでした。

タヒチの感じの良いキュートな審査員と仲良くツーショットで

keiがフルセットで苦戦していたことなど頭の隅にもありませんでした。

自分にとってどちらが大切なのか？秋の永い夜になりそうです。

Horacio , Orlanda

Horacio 妹の Orlanda と一緒にテニスコートに来ました。 Orlanda テニスをしないのでベンチから Horacio のテニス・プレーを観戦しています。いいプレーを見せようと Horacio 少し力が入りいつものような鋭いショットがなかなか出ません。楽しくプレーする Horacio を見ながら Orlanda も楽しみました。

Which of the Players in this Photo is not Japanese?

Charlie:  Hmmm.  I think the guy on the far right is not Japanese.

Khal:  He looks like a Mexican.

Charlie:  You might be right.  I think his name is Roberto.

Khal:  Last week, I thought you said his name was Boob.

Charlie:  Well, that was last week. This is this week.

Khal:  Anyway, those two ladies are really cute.

Charlie:  Yes they are.  Don't forget; I saw them first.

Just kidding again, Bob, Charlie, Khal, Masako, and Hiromi.  ;)  Hi Yutaka-san!  Last weekend,  Bob was kind enough to allow me to play in place of him. He got to squeegee but, didn't get to play. What a guy.  Thanks Roberto!

The sunset clouds which blessed semifinal participation of Kei were watched today. The Inage beach does not lose in Waikiki, too.

It is Kei & Nobu Go!, ...

Go!Go! Kai Rakuten Japan Open By Nobu

 

Today's Kei won in two rounds of games wonderfully. However, unfortunately the game of his double became the default.

Mana and Cliff of a Hawaiian friend supporting attracting attention are reflected in TV. Nobu and Take become small beside them and sit down. However, we looked it to TV by two-shot in a different angle at a red seat.

Go!Go! Nobu

コート清掃

朝6時30分前後にコートに着くと火曜日から木曜日は、 Toshi-G と1セットゲームを行い7時頃 Toshi-G が引き上げるのでロッカーから箒,ブラシ,チリトリを出して来て各コート清掃します。色々なものが落ちていますが以前に比べ煙草の吸殻が減っています。公園内禁煙になり少しづつ浸透してきているんですね。

Aloha to our Friend, Kay

Sad news to report. Kay (Kimie) Nakaganeku just passed away. The old timers from over 10 years ago remember Kay as a regular at the courts. She only played a few times since. She was a delightful lady who always had a nice smile and treated everyone well. Kay, we miss you. Take care and aloha.

Notes:  No services are planned. Photos were taken in 2006.

悲しいニュースは報告です。ケイ（君枝）Nakaganekuさんが火曜日の朝に亡くなりました。 10年以上の常連としてケイを覚えています。彼女は以来、数回をしていました。彼女はいつも素敵な笑顔を持っていた楽しい女性だった。私たちはあなたを失い悲しいです。アロハしてください。

Kazuhiro , Kuto が7時前にテニスコートでプレーを楽しんでいるのを観戦しに Naotaka , Saori カピオラニ公園を散歩がてらコートに来ると Kazu , Kuto 対 Natu , Hirokazu で熱戦が展開されているところでした。 Kuto のラリーが続くので随分上手になって一段と成長したのを確認できました。

Rakuten Japan Open By Nobu

Nobu supports Kei with a tennis friend of Hawaii.

Excellent results of the US Open and the Malaysia open  were praised, and Kei was commended by association of tennis in Japan.

I will go to the support again tomorrow because there are singles and double two games of Kei .

Go!Go! Kei

 

Can You See Diamond Head?

We're fortunate that our Kapiolani tennis courts are in a beautiful setting near the beach and majestic Diamond Head. Now, let's play some tennis!

Do you know who this is? No, it's not Hiromi!  :)
