I think Nishikori's stock actually dropped this tournament. Or at least he reminded me, indelibly this time hopefully, of what I seem to always forget about him between tournaments: he is a ball of jello nerves just waiting to implode against those opponents who intimidate him. I don't think he has the mental make up necessary to win a Slam, though god knows, eventually somebody other than the usual suspects is going to have come forward, if only by default.Aussie open will always be favourite tournament
Impressive showing by Raonic
Wasn't sold on him coming into the tournament (didn't see his play in the tournament right be the Aussie where he beat Fed) but I am definitely a but higher in him now
His net game is still a but awkward at times, but considering his age, he has quite a bit of time to round that out
I await a grand slam final of Raonic - Nishikori some day
