BRISBANE INTERNATIONAL PRESENTED BY SUNCORP


January 9, 2015


Kei Nishikori


BRISBANE, QUEENSLAND

K. NISHIKORI/B. Tomic
6‑0, 6‑4


THE MODERATOR:  Questions, please.

Q.  That was a very impressive first set.  Tell us about it.
KEI NISHIKORI:  Singles?  Doubles?

Q.  Yeah, singles.
KEI NISHIKORI:  Yeah, I mean, I took first couple games really well.  Return well.  Same time I was aggressive after the return and serve.
Looked like he kind of gave up last couple games, but he start a little better serve.  I was get a little bit tight and had a couple easy mistakes, but overall I don't think he has any break points with my serve.
So I was serving really well.  I think it was good match for me.

Q.  You stepped it up a level from the second round?
KEI NISHIKORI:  Yeah, it was better than first match.  For sure I was more confident and comfortable playing on this court.
You know, it was different player.  Today there was more rally and I was able to hit more balls with my groundstrokes.  That's what I want to do, you know, if it's first couple match of the year.  So I think it was great matchup against Tomic today.

Q.  A very different match again for the semifinal.
KEI NISHIKORI:  Yeah, it's going to be tough.  It was great match today against Sam and Raonic.  We played a lot of times already.  Last year we played like four, five times.  We know each other, so it's going to be tough match.
