NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK
M. CILIC/K. Nishikori
6‑3, 6‑4, 6‑7, 6‑3
THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. What do you think made the difference in that fourth set? You were close to kind of breaking it all the way back open. What happened?
KEI NISHIKORI: I mean, whole day I didn't hit my serve well. In the return I should have go inside. That works in third set, but I kind of step back in fourth set and he made all the balls and I was running side to side.
Like I said, it wasn't easy for my service game because I wasn't making first serve. Yeah, it was, yeah, tough game for me.
Q. Are you still working with Brad?
KEI NISHIKORI: No.ÂÂ
Q. What are your goals for the rest of the year?
KEI NISHIKORI: Hopefully. I want to keep my ranking top 20 end of this year. I have a big result end of last year, so I have to defend a lot of points.
But, yeah, it's going to be in the Asia tour for this one month, so it's gonna be more comfortable for me, I guess, playing Kuala Lumpur, Japan, Shanghai.
Yeah, like I want to, you know, keep my ranking.
Q. I noticed you were changing your socks quite often. Is that to prevent blisters?
KEI NISHIKORI: Yeah.
