Who wins this match?

Murray leads the H2H 8-2 and 1-0 on Clay but Nishikori did beat Murray in the 2016 US Open QF.

I pick Murray in 4 or 5 sets. I think he is starting to get his legs back and Nishikori is not fit (not surprising).

Murray wins in three, tied one set a piece and up 3-0 in the third, but due to Glassikori retiring.

Murray looked much better today against Khatchanov. I say 4, as well.

hmm.... If Nishikori does not get injured, I say he wins this with authority. Even factoring in the fact that I don't like Murray, I saw patches of really high level play from Nishikori on multiple occasions this year.

Glassikori says don't write me off yet with a 6-2 opener...

Terrible tie-break from Nishikori. He's been all over the map sometimes this tournament, and including in this match.
