00:00Flying at the moment, Adam.

00:02There is Songa.

00:03Nishikori, we knew he led the head-to-head.

00:06And he's been a great touch so far,

00:08between the likes of Filip Kohlschreiber,

00:10Austin Krajacek in the earlier rounds as well.

00:13But Nishikori, look how fast he is.

00:15Adam, one of his strengths, the pace across court, isn't it?

00:18Yeah, and also his speed.

00:20I mean, he looks like Usain Bolt running in the tennis court.

00:23You know, he's so fast.

00:25And I mean, one thing he's coming in this season,

00:27he's mixing up everything.

00:28And it's becoming a package for him.

00:30Serving walling, chip in charge, running fast from the back,

00:33hitting clean balls from the back as well.

00:37I mean, if he's going to keep free from injury,

00:40he might be a trap this year.

00:41Definitely, we hope he's going to go far and maybe win a slam.

00:44He was the US Open finalist in 2014,

00:47coming second place to Marin Cilic, Songa, getting frustrated.

00:52Here's Nishikori with the breakpoint in the second set.

00:55And he was on fire at this stage.

00:57Remember taking the second set, 6-2 as well.

01:00Nishikori keeping cool under pressure.

01:03And he is a pretty unflappable, phlegmatic character, isn't he?

01:07And more aggression, like you said, from Nishikori.

01:09Yes, I mean, as I was saying, you know,

01:11you never see him coming up after a return of serve.

01:13And also, yes, it did bother Songa a little bit with his back.

01:16I wanted to see Songa coming up more to trying to put the point short,

01:21but I think his back was bothering him a little bit.

01:23Seeing Joe Wilfred Songa going off court for a bit of treatment

01:26and medical timeout as well.

01:27And that injury led to a little bit of frustration for Nishikori,

01:31for Songa, should I say,

01:32while Nishikori was just playing glorious tennis.

01:36Songa getting a little bit annoyed.

01:38Here he is having a word with the chair umpire, Fergus Murphy,

01:42and whacking his racket as well.

01:44I'm talking to you. Come on, just respect me.

01:47What do you want to say?

01:49Just respect me.

01:50Just respect me.

01:52I'm talking to you.

01:53You can do my hype when you talk to me too.

01:55I'm here with you, man.

01:59Big Joe, not happy at all.

02:01I think just taking a little bit of frustration out on Fergus Murphy,

02:04who's rated one of the best chair umpires in the world.

02:06It has to be said, and Murphy dealt with that very well.

02:09Joe does wear his kind of emotional heart on his sleeve, doesn't he?

02:13But Nishikori coming through 6-4, 6-2, 6-4.

02:16Here are the match stats for you, ladies and gentlemen.
