P. CARRENO-BUSTA/K. Nishikori

7-5, 7-6, 6-2

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. Can you sum up today's match, please?

KEI NISHIKORI: Well, tough rust because I thought I was playing well but Carreño was playing better today. I thought I was playing pretty high level. For me, I played, I think, one of the best tennis so far, including last year after coming back.

I was kind of happy, you know, the way I'm playing with this level, but still not enough to beat this guy. I tried to keep playing, and hopefully I can start winning more matches.
