Kei Nishikori Survives Upset Attempt

Kei Nishikori defeated Matthew Ebden 3-6, 1-6, 6-4, 6-1, 6-1. Overcoming a 2-set deficit, Nishikori showed the world that he is an up and coming star as well, showing the mettle and will to put aside the huge lead his opponent had and turned the tables in his favor. Nishikori played tentatively and cautious in the first two sets, but began to play much more aggressive in the latter three, which is what ended up saving him. “I think it was a great win for me, in the third set I tried to make more balls and stay solid,” he said. Bernard Tomic, Milos Raonic, and He are all the newcomers who show promise that have not been eliminated. I assure you he will be a top-10 player, maybe even before the end of this year.
