In second set Kei didn't gave any chance to Hesh and finished this set in 19 mins.

Impressive performance from Kei ... Today he was attacking net and successfully tried 'chip and charge' strategy on Hesh's serve.

Lee showed his brilliance in patches ... But overall entertaining match to watch ... Late in the third set Iwabuchi was struggling with cramps but he played excellent grass court tennis .. At 5-4 when Iwabuchi serving for the match he faced 2 break points, but then he served 4 superb first serves to win match.
