from IMG: quote from Kei after Delray

Kei lost to Benjamin Becker in the first round of Delray by 3-6, 6-1, 0-6. Here is the quote from Kei.

"I am back in Bradenton. We drove back last night from Delray after the match. I lost to the #3 seed in the first round. The good news is that my arm is feeling good and was able to play three sets with-out any real problems. The other good news is that my level of tennis, after 11 months of not playing a match, was very good. In the third set the level went down a little bit but overall not bad at all for a first match back. Today I continue my rehab back at Bollettieri Sports Medicine and get ready for my next event. The road back to 100% is never easy but I am working hard and excited about the first step"
