Kurobune: why "ganbare, Nippon"?
Cheering for Kei, absolutely! Cheering for Japan, or being upset at Japan when he loses, is just foolish. He is one person, not a nation, and people thinking of him as the latter is why there is too much pressure on him and one of the reasons he fails.

Because the Davis Cup is a team event where countries compete against one another.

I want to root for Kei. But I'm a little concerned that Nishikori's cut-out looks like standing out too much from the spectators. Hope no complaints from the crowd.

I bet that guy sitting behind the woman with the cutout wasn't too happy.

@smithininjapan,Not too sure if you follow tennis or not mate, Davis cup is a team format, hence JAPAN vs GREAT BRITAIN , and no he hasn't failed, he's won 11 ATP titles and runner up at the US OPEN current world ranking NO# 6 ..
