You played the morning and then you had to stop? KEI NISHIKORI: Yeah. Q. That's nothing new, but did that affect your momentum at all? KEI NISHIKORI: Well, yeah, it's never easy. It took maybe two, three hours between rain delay. And that time I start playing little better, I started getting my rhythm. Then rain came. It wasn't easy moment for me.
