Nishikori beats Raonic to win Japan Open title

Way to go, Kei-san ! Omedetou !

As an Australian fan of Kei's I will be at the Aus Open cheering his every match.

Congratulations on winning the Japan Open for the second time, Kei! You showed tremendous determination to fight through to the end. I hope your body holds-up for the remainder of this year's tournaments. And also congratulations on a fantastic year - your "coming of age"

Surely Kei must now start as one of the favourites for the big one - The Aussie Open - in a few months? He will have massive support down in Melbourne from the locals, too ! Go son!

Congrats to Kei! It was a nice game Hope he make it to London.

No complaints about the superiority of height?

Good on Nishikori. While it wasn't a one-sided victory by any means, the young man continues to show he's a force to contend with, and is getting better.
