But apparently he still has some pains in the ankle he sprained in Shanghai. This week he's recovered to the point that he can play two sets. ...and of course he's aware that the field is very strong in Basel. He departed from Bradenton on Thursday, changing flights at Atlanta and Paris, and then onto Basel. Maybe he's still flying right now. Hope he can have some rest onboard and his ankle will get better!

bunny, did you wake up before dawn?!
I had set the alarm for this, but only lasted the first 5-6 games before napping another hour or so before getting ready for work.
I thought Kei can beat top 10 players again but from the first few games, Berdych had it all under control...Kei is getting used to coming back and winning in 3 sets.
I hope to see a full match soon though, these hours really doesn't suit me.
Only watched the third set from 1-1 but Kei's winners down the line were impressive. And his effective second serve! Never thought the day would come I say so. lol

Disappointing from a tourney like Basel!
But Kei's doing good so far
