K. NISHIKORI/I. Karlovic

6-3, 6-4, 7-6

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. Talk about how happy you are with your game against Ivo. Did Ivo seem a little off today or were you just ready for him?
KEI NISHIKORI: I don't know. I just, you know, focus my tennis. Today I return really well. That's for sure help my game today. Able to get the break, you know, first and second set early. So that makes me a little more relax.

And, yeah, my serve was much better today. Able to hit a lot of first serve in. Third set, it was a little bit tight in the end. But, yeah, really good focus today. Happy with my win today.

Q. For a big server like Ivo, did you work on your return?
KEI NISHIKORI: Yeah, it's never easy, someone serving like Ivo. You know, great first serve, and second serve too. It's never easy to return those kind of serves.

I mean, I practiced little bit yesterday. But, you know, I tried to stay down. I been returning well, so that's also helping today's game, too. Yeah, especially today I think play one of the best match, serve, return, everything, groundstrokes. So was good match.
