Kei Nishikori lay on his back at the service line, got up to pump his fist. It was an appropriate reaction to his forehand winner which ended one of the most complete upsets at this year's Open.
He slayed David Ferrer, the talented Spaniard, 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 2-6, 7-5. He made 63 percent of his first serves as opposed to Ferrer's 57 to go along with 46 winners.
At 18, he's got nerves of steel and an almost soothing calm.
Ferrer and Nishikori will be in the press room soon.
