Very interesting article! I hope Shuzo Matsuoka is right when he says that Nishikori will enter the top ten and win a Grand Slam!

Hi Johan,
Last night I created Nishikori’s fan website: http://keinishikori.net. I’m trying to make it as bilingual as possible. I’ll make it more sophisticated in the future, but for the time being, it will do my purpose. As a tennis-nut myself, my goal is to make TENNIS the major sports not only in Japan but the world. You and I can do a lot together to meet people’s needs. By the way, your kei-nishikori.com is great with a lot of news about Kei.
Re: this article is not new in Japan. Because Matsuoka and Morigami have been frequently interviewed by Japanese press. But the problems are that they are rarely translated in English. Japanese tennis fans are thrilled to read about their players because for so many years nobody wrote about Japanese mens’ tennis.
Thank you, Johan and many people also ask me to thank you for your efforts.
