Australian Open Day 8: Monday, January 26

Seriously though, Nishikori is knocking down some winners today. Dtl backhands. Dtl forehands. Just making Ferrer's service games so tough. Ferrer is not playing poorly at all. Nishikori just a step above him at his point. Finally healthy. For now. He's still got all sorts of tape on him.

The battle of the Madison's is beginning though. And I want to see that one too. I hate having two streams going at once and going back and forth.... but I'll do it. Lol

At this point, Nishikori has more firepower than Ferrer. Also, Nishikori's backhand is thing of beauty.

Nishi loses the plot after playing such a clean first set.

edit: and he immediately gets the break back. Nice.

My commies just said Nishikori has a quad problem and Ferrer has a bad blister on his foot from his match against Simon.

It really really is. So good. Poor Ferrer. Just looks .... old out there. He looks tired. I'm sure the blisters the commentators are talking about are certainly an issue. He'll fight to the end though. Always.

Feliciano double faulted the first set away. That's got to be so gut wrenching. To know you've got a great serve and that you didn't trust your second offering enough to just get it in.

One set a piece between Lopez-Raonic. Surprisingly, there are no tiebreakers yet on this match.

Muller's game is unbelieeeeeeeeeeeevably dull. I know it's the hip thing to praise every single serve and volley player because "baseline, homogenization, bla bla bla" but yeah, no.
