Nishikori to face Raonic in Japan Open final

This young Canadian has a bright future!

The battle of Ariake! Two men enter, one emerges victorious.

As per my previous post, Raonic is a young up- and- comer, I wish Kei-san the best in this final, but . . .

C,mon Kei make maple syrup from him.. your gonna have to return well and hope that Raonic misfires his first serves Nishikori to prevail straight sets 6-4 7-5...

Raonic's forehand is in many ways similar to Berdych's so if Nishikori san is as much of a counter puncher his quarter final match suggests, this could be a really interesting championship match
