Japanese superstar Kei Nishikori scored the quarterfinals of the Open Erste Bank on Thursday at 6: 2.6: 2. The Viennese debutant left Moscow winner Karen Khachanov on Thursday in 64 minutes. No chance. Nishikori, who also scored points in the "Race to London", will face Austrian Dominic Thiem or Sam Querrey (USA) in the quarter-finals.

"I did well today: I served well and I came back in. Maybe he did not show his best tennis today either, he has committed many non-forced mistakes, "Nishikori said of Dennis Novak's conqueror, adding," I can not wait to get to the quarterfinals tomorrow. "

The opticourt of the town hall is Japanese. "I really like this rubber, it goes very well with my tennis.It's a moderately fast surface, the balls leap high," said Nishikiori, who was now expecting a difficult task in all cases. "It will be a tough match, whether against Domi or Sam." I just have a tough match against Querrey in Shanghai. Domi has everything for him: good service, a good forehand and I love his backhand. I am sure it will be very difficult. "

With Vienna, which he did not know before, the Eleventh World Ranking has become very friendly. "I walk almost every day to Vienna, I really like this city, it's one of the most beautiful in the world, I hope to stay here longer." But we We do not have time for large guided tours. "I'm a little jealous because my team went to the opera yesterday, I could have gone, but it may not be nice to sit for three hours, so I'm not sure. I did not go there. "

It was hard to start with the proposal made Thursday by Rafael Nadal to allow in the future only one service. "It could help my game, I do not have as much service as John (Isner) or Milos Raonic, but I do not think it will come."

Nishikori, who has already earned $ 20 million over the course of his career and repeatedly holds the most lucrative sponsorship deals in his pocket, is on the heels of U.A. Thiem. Nevertheless, he does not think much about it according to their own statements. "Not really, I really want to go to London, but I had a good year.I do not expect too much to return from an injury.I have enjoyed the last few months and I only have to bring one hundred percent to the field, if I lose then I will lose. "

Not only him, but all Japan won the biggest Grand Slam victory for Naomi Osaka's rising sun country. "It means something to me and of course to Japanese tennis – it was Japan's first Grand Slam victory and I think it also has the potential to become number one. me to see how she beat Serena in the final of the US Open. "

Too bad that Nishikori did not cross this "barrier of sound". "In fact, I'm glad someone has reached that goal now, I was just happy that a friend wins the Grand Slam." For him, Hardcourt is a chance to win that first title major. "I also love sand, but I think now I have more chances on hard ground, so in the US or at the Australian Open."
