Wow! cool! well... Nishikori is strong. Federer is not the same guy from years ago. That's tennis.

@pizzatime I wouldn't say that Federer is not the same guy from years ago, certainly he doesn't dominate every match with casual finesse, but I think that is because all of the younger players have been watching his tennis for around a decade if not longer, aiming to be him or beat him, and he is still the Second seed in tennis currently. The fact that Nishikori managed to beat the #2 player in the world is amazing, more power to him and other young aspiring tennis players. I wish I could have seen this match, I'm sure it would have been very exciting.

Given the fact that the GOAT has taken some time off, and not to mention his charitable,sponsors ,and family commitments, it,s really not that surprising that Kei took him,on his day he can give anyone a headache, but this game is about unforced errors and consistency,if kei can keep injury free , he,ll crack the top 10 and get seeded higher ,thus can go deeper into majors as well as the other prestigious tournaments...
