Doubles draw is out and Kei is playing with Machi Gonzalez.
They will face former RG doubles winners Cuevas and Dlouhy in R1............Good luck to them, they'll probably need it. :lol:

Yeah that's what we were chatting about from around 4-1 in the second set.
Maybe lack of preparations due to the sickness.

Dammit...gotta step out for a while! good luck Kei!

So fast, 1 set all already...Kei only won 1 game in the first set?!?!

Kei doesn't look too confident for most of the match, and it's not the cool and calm presence either.
Maybe it was the heat + not a 100% after the illness suffered recently.

It's worrying, sometime I wish there was no P45 labelled on him...gotta break this curse.

He just lost in R2 doubles, but overall did pretty good against a seeded team.
