Kei Nishikori's homecoming was short and not very sweet.
The Japanese baller was
spanked off the court in front of his home crowd in
Tokyo today, losing the 55-min match to a suddenly solid
Richard Gasquet 6-1, 6-2. The Frenchie had a great serving day hitting
7 aces in the mini-match.
As for
Kei, well, a lesson learned: it's hard playing great ball in front of your home peeps. Just ask
Richard - it's a thrill-a-minute for him in
Paris because his crowd
might actually eat him alive.
