I respect Kei Nishikori because he gave Japanese children hope. Japanese tennis player couldn’t get the outcome worldwide before. For the reason, Japanese people is not taller than foreign people. Nishikori has same problem, and his lower back is a ticking time bomb. But, he bravely has a match with foreign tennis player. Then, he is now world No.4, and finished second in the 2014 U.S. Open final for the first time as Japanese. In the same way, a Japanese Major League player is doing well now. For example, Ichiro gained a worldwide reputation. He was firstly hesitant because it had previously been worn by pitching star Randy Johnson. But,  his trepidation was unfounded, as he had a remarkable 2001 season, accumulating a rookie-record 242 hits. Thereafter, Japanese baseball player began to win high praise for skills in the U.S. Now, Nishikori is same position with Ichiro in that Japanese sports player can play an active part worldwide. Like this, I want a lot of Japanese children to persue their dream.
