Good, now use that fire after you relax and beat this guy.

Saved by the rain? Seems like Nishikori was in free fall towards the end yesterday.
Well, I'm sure 'this guy' has a name, but I'm wondering whether Nishikori got a caution for smashing his racket. You can bet your life had it been someone like Kyrgios, he would have been told off.
Hmm, is this going to turn into a Kim-Asada rivalry???!!!

Nishikori should be fined for throwing yet another tantrum on the court -- and they are growing more frequent. Obviously he's not a very good sport to be doing such things. Very unprofessional!
If he wins this match, he was literally saved by the rain, because he was having his butt handed to him by the South Korean.

As punishment, I think players who smash their rackets ought to continue playing with the same racket. Tee hee hee!

Pukey: That actually sounds like a good idea!

Let us Nishikori fans make the excuses. Cheers.
Nishikori will struggle to beat Verdasco tomorrow, but best-16 is a good result for him considering his sub-par form and injury issues this season.
Hope his wrist and right shoulder issues resolve themselves before Wimbledon.

Golfers aren't allowed to replace clubs, so if they damage it, they have to do just that, lol

Oh and if you guys want to see a real racket smash check out the Borna Coric rampage after he lost to Steve Johnson earlier this tournament. NIshikoris racket smashes are so tame.

Coric was playing in the Chung-Nishikori match.

What I meant to type:
Coric wasn't playing in the Chung-Nishikori match.

I don't think you do hope so, because you won't have any excuses as to why he lost beyond an inability to beat the top dogs (or recently even unknowns).
