After forty years of misery Japan has a Japanese champion at the Japan Open in Tokyo. It quite an inspirational story, just like a fairy tale. The underdog in all three of his quarter, semi and final matches the right hander defied odds as he added his name to the history books. The last set in particular was just stunning from the Japenese No.1.
