Djokovic vs Nishikori (2016 Australian Open) Quarter-final Highlights

Описание: World No. 1 Novak Djokovic dismissed Kei Nishikori 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 on Tuesday in Melbourne.


Djokovic swept past Nishikori in two hours and seven minutes.

The Serb made the decisive breakthrough in the sixth game of the opener, in which Nishikori had led 40/0, and went on to close out the set in 32 minutes, holding from 0/30 in the ninth game.

Djokovic carried his momentum into the second set and benefited from more wayward forehands from Nishikori to break immediately. Nishikori came close to working his way back into the match, but was thwarted on two break points in the following game. The Japanese held from 0/40 in the third game, but was broken again in the fifth game and could not stop Djokovic from serving out the set in the eighth game, despite holding three break points.

Nishikori twice led by a service break in the third set, but both times could not sustain his high level and aggression. Djokovic made him pay for the unforced errors, which ultimately amounted to 54, and broke the Japanese star in the seventh game before going on to close out victory. Djokovic now leads their head to head series 6-2, with Nishikori’s last victory over the Serb coming in the 2014 US Open semi-finals.
