In Matsue, Japanese Tennis Player Kei Nishikori's home town, thousands of supporters had gathered at Kunibiki Messe on Sept. 9 to cheer their native son on in the match against Croatia's Marin Cilic, which lasted 1 hour and 54 minutes, about half the average of just over 4 hours for the past five U.S. Open finals.
