More to come from Kei-chan - Michael Chang team.

Seriously? Just as I mentioned yesterday. Every significant accomplishment by any Japanese athlete or team becomes an excuse for Japanese self-congratulation on being "Japanese". And, of course, NHK and the media just feed this. Does anyone else remember the insane way they featured every single hit Ichiro got a few years back when he was chasing an MLB hitting record? Led the NHK news every night.
Now that would be great, and is a positive outcome from him being Japanese, rather than a bunch of salary-men taking false pride in his victory.

Great job, Kei-san ! It is not just Japanese fans enjoying your success! You have got a real chance to win the whole thing ! Despite what some naysayers may say ! Ganbarre, Kei-san !

I am watching this on CBS in US. To my understanding, you may be able to watch this on Wow Wow, Japan.
Nishikori looks great. Hope he goes all the way to the final.
