Hi Stefan, This question arose again today so I thought I'd post an update here.
There's a subtle difference between *MatchType* and KeywordMatchType<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201309/AdGroupCriterionService.Keyword#matchType>. The former is based on how your ads were triggered, as described in the "Understanding the 'Match type' column" section of this help document. https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2472708?hl=en If you are interested in retrieving the match type that you specified when creating your keywords, then use KeywordMatchType<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201309/AdGroupCriterionService.Keyword#matchType>instead. This will give you one row per keyword, as expected. I'll look into updating the GetKeywords example<https://github.com/googleads/googleads-java-lib/blob/master/examples/adwords_axis/src/main/java/adwords/axis/v201309/basicoperations/GetKeywords.java#L83>to use *KeywordMatchType* as well to avoid any confusion going forward.
