Some facts:
Blake's 150th ATP tournament, Nishikori's 6th.
Blake has equal record in ATP finals: 10-10.
Nishikori is a first Japanese in an ATP final since Queens Club 1992 (Shuzo Matsuoka).

Blake is older exactly 10 years and one day
Blake 28th December, Nishikori 29th December.

Blake easily, something like 6-4, 6-1, i hope I'm wrong and it's a close match though, James will punish Nishikori's serve.

 

[Tom Paulman]

I'd love to see Nishikori win (he deserves it just because of the money he's made me this week, haha), but I wouldn't mind if James took the title.

As a realist, I'm picking James in 2 sets.

 

[Voo de Mar]

This match up is some kind of relief for James. Nishikori is for him an easier opponent than Querrey... at least theoretically.

 

[silverwhite]

Blake, easily

 

[Lee]

If Blake plays like he was in the first few games today, Nishikori has a chance.

 

[TMJordan]

Another one of head vs. heart.

Unfortunatly the head will probaly win.

 

[Experimentee]

It would be great if Nishikori won, but I think Blake will.

 

[Adler]

Blake easily. He's looking strong here, while Kei needs some more experience at this level. Simple as that

 

[DartMarcus]

Blake in straights.

 

[KitinovRules]

I haven't seen Nishikory play , but it is extremely well for tennis worldwide to have a Japanese teenager with such a good result .
James in 2

 

[Allure]

Flake FTW.

 

[Bilbo]

another MM title for James Flake

 

[jonny84]

Nishikori has nothing to lose here..........he could pull of an upset

 

[Jimnik]

I'd like to think Nishikori can at least take a set.

Was Darcis the last qualifier to win a title?

 

[Bilbo]

Nishikori has nothing to lose here..........he could pull of an upset

since when do you believe in underdogs?

 

[gambit84]

I hope Nishikori

 

[Bilbo]

of course i hope nishikori is going to win this match

 

[Jaap]

Kei must be starting to get a bit tired after his exploits this week. I think Blake will win a close first set, then cruise in the 2nd.
