Kei's first round opponent is veteran Cecil Mamiit! It could be very tough! Good luck, Kei!

His match is not on Monday OOP. Maybe tomorrow.

You are a true fan, Rafkei!
(I have to confess I was rooting for JCF when he and Kei played...)

I think this match will be a good Davis Cup practice for both Kei and Cecil.

Wow Kei and Mamiit got centre court ahead of some big name Americans like Kendrick and Sweeting.

Thanks Bunny! (i hope there are no Mamiit Filipino fans here, or else l'll be dead just joking) Been a fan of Kei since the delray win - Mamiit is a good player but he is just past his prime days.

Btw, I never knew that JCF and Kei had played already. When was it?

They played in R32 at Auckland last year. Kei retired 3-5 in the first set due to the arm injury, which made me feel all the more bad.

[Rafkei]

ah i see, that's too bad. Two of your favorite players, sadly the match end up in a retirement.

Im sure there will next time!

I rather hope they'll never play again! Don't want my loyalty tested!


It seems the matches are delayed due to rain...

From the tournament Twitter/FB.

Good Morning Everyone!! Unfortunately, the rain has pushed back all of our matches. The courts are now closed....

[makannmi17]

hey Rafkei, i'm also Filipino, but not a Mamiit fan, so you're still lucky. haha. Anyway, Kei is my second fave ATP player. i hope he'll win more matches so his ranking will improve.

[*bunny*]

Welcome, Makannmi!

Kei's match yesterday was postponed due to rain soon after it started.

The match is scheduled to resume with Kei serving *0-1 on the stadirum court at 10 a.m. local time, which is in a little more than two hours time!
