He bagelled Raonic :eek::worship:

Regarding the other article, Kei kind of does remind me of a mini-Djokovic, except without the discipline on his strokes. He also reminds me of a cross between Tsonga and Ferrer.

Great result for Japanese tennis, Nishikori is the first Japanese to win this home tournament, isn't he? Congrats! :hatoff:

I read somewhere that he also won 365 cans of beer but politely refused as he 'didn't like beer' or something like that. :D :drink:

superb week for nishikori, he has played magnificent and deservedly has won the tournament

ranoic...getting bagelled. christ, i hate to think what djokovic will do to him if he starts reaching slam QFs

he won the 2nd set, should have taken it slowly in the 3rd, made sure he held his service games. didn't do that, tried to rush through it, nishikori swung freely, bagel time

first 500 win for nishikori. raonic will have to wait that little bit longer

The sooner these two are in the top 10 the better tennis will be. They're legit top 10 quality unlike the likes of Mugaco and Scrubcki. Despite the result I think Milos will go higher.
Based on what? Kei is clearly the more talented player of two, serving is basically the only thing Milos does better. And while Kei will never serve like Milos or even remotely, his serve does have margin to improve.

Congrats Kei :hug: Well deserved.

Follow your bushido and go get a place in the top 10 now you legend :worship:

i think ‘ninja’ is a more appropriate nickname for kei given his speed and movement. spectacular week and a nice victory for japan.

disappointing final for rao as he looked a bit flat and fatigued after going the distance with tipsy and murray. but a great week overall and promising signs of improvement on the ros.
