COURT 1 UPDATE

[10 July 2019 17:56 · Kieran Jackson]

Nishikori 6-4 1-6 4-6 2-1 Federer*

Nishikori clings on, serving it out to advantage again with a big serve out wide.

You've got to admire the sheer tenacity of the Japanese player!

[10 July 2019 17:59 · Kieran Jackson]

*Nishikori 6-4 1-6 4-6 2-2 Federer

A hold to 15 for Federer, who is cruising on his own serve...

[10 July 2019 18:01 · Kieran Jackson]

*Nishikori 6-4 1-6 4-6 2-2 Federer (15-40)

UNREAL pass from Federer on the run on his backhand!!! TWO BREAK POINTS...

[10 July 2019 18:03 · Kieran Jackson]

*Nishikori 6-4 1-6 4-6 2-2 Federer (40-40)

Two break points come and go, as Federer nets a volley and overhits a return. 

Deuce, once again on Nishikori's serve.

[10 July 2019 18:05 · Kieran Jackson]

Nishikori 6-4 1-6 4-6 3-2 Federer*

But again, Nishikori comes through the test and holds serve, and thus creeps ahead in the scoreboard.

[10 July 2019 18:08 · Kieran Jackson]

*Nishikori 6-4 1-6 4-6 3-3 Federer

Federer holds to 15, rapidly.

This must be exhausting for Nishikori mentally: holding through tight service games, then not being given a chance on return.

[10 July 2019 18:12 · Kieran Jackson]

Nishikori 6-4 1-6 4-6 4-3 Federer*

This time, Nishikori holds to 30. 

At 30-30, Federer nets a forehand thinking it's out, but on challenge it's shown to be in - the 8-time champ shakes his head.

Nishikori ahead, but still on serve in this fourth set. 

[10 July 2019 18:13 · Kieran Jackson]

COURT 1 UPDATE

Rafael Nadal is a set and a break up against Sam Querrey, 7-5 3-2.
