4-6 7-6 7-6 6-3. In a very hard fought match, Nishikori once again showed us promise that he will become a great player soon, by fighting a fiercely contested match. When Nishikori went up the flight of stairs for his interviews, he was visibly tired, dragging himself up after a 3 and a half hour match. In the first and second sets, Nishikori was up a break but lost the lead in the first set and lost the set. In the second set he barely won the set, despite losing his lead. But the third set is where the drama arose. Nishikori was down 2-5 in the third set. But proving his mettle, he clawed his way back into the set and managed to win the tiebreak in elegant fashion. Julien, looking clearly dismayed to have lost his prospect at a 2-1 set lead, lost the 4th set in less than fighting manner.
