Ahem:

"Getting to this point in the tournament is a very nice achievement. There's no shame in losing to a player of (insert name here)'s caliber. That said, I wish Nishikori would find it within himself to once in a while win one of these key matches against the top tier of players."

Still 0-for-lifetime in Masters and Slam events. Still couldn't beat any of the "Big 3" to save his life. It's just a constant string of QF or SF losses to Fed, Djoker, or Rafa in the big events. I try not to be the guy who relentlessly piles on Nishikori for the sake of trolling Kei fans, but c'mon man... the repetition of how the past few years have gone has become absolutely pitiful. Even bad players (which Nishikori isn't) catch a break and win big matches against better players from time to time. Why can't Nishikori??? It must be a mental thing at this point, no? It's absolutely frustrating.

"He was untroubled by Nishikori on Friday, breaking the Japanese in the ninth game of the first set and opening game of the second."

Nishikori folds like a house of cards yet again, with the REAL masters going for their 33rd or so title. Ouch. Maybe 2019 will be his sixth year... errr.... the sixth time it will be his year.
