SONY OPEN TENNIS 2014 : NISHIKORI FIGHTS PAST FEDERER, FACES DJOKOVIC NEXT

 

One day after saving four match points to upset World No. 4 David Ferrer, Japan’s Kei Nishikori once again showed his tenacity to defeat another Top 5 player, Roger Federer, at the Sony Open Tennis on Wednesday night.

 

Nishikori twice rallied from a break down in the second set, coming back to defeat the two-time Miami champion 3-6, 7-5, 6-4.

 

"Feeling good, of course, to beat Roger," said Nishikori.

 

"I thought I really played well, especially in the third. I was hitting both deep and striking well. Everything was going well. There [were a] couple of tough moments, but I was fighting through and happy to win today."
