I had Hisense Arena tickets for Monday 23 January 2012 and saw some top tennis.
Here are some pics of Nishikori, Tsonga, Ferrer and Gasquet with photo credits going to Ballboy2012 and my dad, both good photographers with the patience to hold the camera up, waiting for the good shot!
Kei Nishikori played Jo Wilfried Tsonga, winning in five sets.

Good coverage of Hisense singles for the day, good to see a new name in Nishikori getting through.
