Last summer I walked by a Jaguar dealership in Kyoto, they had amazing life-size Nishikori exhibits on display.

Djoker does every single thing better than Kei does. Djoker is like a light heavyweight boxer that is faster and more durable than every other boxer in the world. Nishi is a middleweight that is less skilled in every possible way than Djoker. This beatdown is going to be ugly.

Djoker will win 3 while holding Nishi to only 10 games.

Raonic, on the other hand, is like a fat heavyweight. He has a puncher’s chance against Djokovic on a relatively fast surface.
This thread is about the talented exciting players Djokovic and Nishikori, while Raonic was only mentioned in passing initially as a peer-group benchmark. Yet the haters suddenly file in to pile on Nishikori and all of a sudden the thread is filled with fanatical Canadians having an “objective discussion” about Raonic’s serve.:sneaky:

Channel 9 hosts in Aus:
"Who do you think will win?"
"Djokovic in 3"
"Let's hope you're right."

wtf? Other than Djokovic fans who is hoping he wins in 3.

Can't Djokovic play a important match under normal condition nowadays?

Everytime it's some injury, cold or fitnesss issue ... so if he loses, he can say "I was off". If he wins, he is all like "OMG IMMA DA GREATEST ROOOOAH!!! FEDAL IS STILL MORE POPULAR, WHY?".

Seriously this is a different surface than what Djoko won on. Nishikori is finally healthy at this time of year and definitely likes this surface. This could be very good. I doubt first two five setters really taxed Nishi, so really just recovering from Busta ordeal. Much better first serving for Kei in his comeback. He's got a very good chance in this match.

What my impression is so far in the match is that Kei is like a fly flying innocently around spider web although it very well know for this web. Mr Kei is not changing anything in comparison to numerous matches he played with Novak. And how do you describe a person who always tries unsuccessfully to approach the same situation all over and over again? You guess it.
