There was a lot of empty seats in KL, but the small crowd cheered loudly for Kei, it's quite unfortunate that he lost so quickly. I'm hungry for more matches from Kei so let see how he goes this week!

Thanx for your very sensible account, chewy!
I hope Japanese fans and media won't put too much expectations/pressure on him---we are notorious for that!
