00:00maybe lost all of those of the road to him and up against garcia lopez the

00:04left-handed threats of yako neemann and

00:07uh... and coffee and he really can and he got off to a great stop

00:12in this match and we're taking big cuts at the ball looking to go down the line

00:16as soon as possible whenever he could

00:19and also

00:21nicely

00:22throughout the course of the match too

00:25dare i ask if kenish kore wasn't up for this

00:28uh... he was certainly up for it i mean this is a quarter-finals of a major but

00:32he was just outplayed and

00:35he seemed a little

00:38in this opening set but you know we saw him drop the opening set when they played at the

00:42u s open

00:43last year in a quarter-final match there

00:46but we've rinka was reading the plane

00:50very well

00:51and had all the answers it's as if nishikori that like you say had

00:55didn't change it up until too late actually didn't

00:58seven volume just mix it up against the drinker

01:01now we do which is difficult to do when your opponent is coming out with

01:03shots like that

01:06left-wing to back and spoke about it

01:08but before the match started it really is

01:11up that was one of the best

01:13they were backhand bombs as well in his serving was exemplary the break it was just

01:17on fire today yet he was on fire nishikori actually had three opportunities

01:22to break back in this particular game but we've rinka held his nerve

01:26to close out the second set

01:29and we just think two sets of love lead for wavrinka

01:32is there really any way back from for nishikori at this stage

01:36and wavrinka putting down a markup he's a champion but boy you played well

01:40but nishikori broke at the start of the third set and we thought well maybe this is a sign of things to come

01:47only to be broken immediately back in and that's something that's tough isn't

01:51because you've got the break

01:53yeah

01:53it's like well so we've got to back it up i mean you can't lose your next service

01:56game to love

01:59but in the tie break

02:02here right from the start where uh... where rinka gets the mini break

02:07bad miss from mishikori there at the net

02:10where rinka

02:12throws down another ace here

02:14one of twenty aces he hits in this match and

02:18there were three of them in this tie break alone

02:22we forget actually doing that he's got a hell of a serve

02:24he really has and uh... he played a superb tie break up to this stage

02:29found himself

02:30six one up

02:32in the tie break

02:33all these match points

02:35only to get a little tight

02:37and for nishikori really to

02:38to come up with some special tennis

02:42tough to close out a match and nishikori really dug in and uh... showed us the

02:45guts that he has he did it i mean he worked so hard to get himself back into this tie break

02:49six all

02:51but he makes a shocking decision

02:54in this rally

02:56he looks to play a drop shot

03:00and he watches it

03:02and look at the reaction from michael chang here

03:06we saw him up on his feet the point before and then that was just well

03:09okay you're just giving it away all that hard work

03:11you're just giving it away

03:13i mean

03:14what are you thinking he will have nightmares about that

03:17and there

03:18where vrinka

03:19puts down his 20th 8th of the match to close it out

03:24i wonder
