Well, that's a weird one, if you ask me. I think Nishikori will out-clever the big server.

50/50.

Did coach Chang ever play a similar opponent? Richie K? Goran?

Dr. Ivo leads the H2H 2-0. Will be a tricky match for Kei. Indoors, I could see Ivo winning that.

Kei is young and has years left in him so I'll root for Lurch, aka Dr. Ivo and his unreturnable atomic bombs.

Looking forward to their photo standing side by side.

Indoor court, no wind - think Ivo is favored.

Saw some of the 2nd set and the breaker. Too many 2nd serves from Ivo, but major props to Kei. His return was on fire. Congrats to Kei on defending his title and 4th overall. :clap

Nishi the giantkiller. Nice win.

another 3 million in Japanese endorsements. ;)

Unnecessarily cynical? Great win by Nishikori, anyway.

Yes, a nice 250 win. I like Nishikori but I think he is over rated.

Cynical? Hardly. When you get $15 million in endorsements with two 250 ATP wins
I would say the third will add another $3 Mill.:cool:

He has had two 500 events crowns and one 250, before this new one. And what is the problem if the corporate Japan supports him? Who do you want them to support??

I stand corrected..two 500s, and a 250. I thought the previous wins were 250s also.

No problem. I was just being flip. Nice to be rich middling results.
