Feliciano
Lopez surprises again in Indian Wells.
At 33, the Spaniard is having another solid
season after a super 2014 and now he has even dispatched an in-form Nishikori
in straight sets in Indian Wells. The Spaniard won 6-4 7-6 (2) in 95 minutes. Match
Stats.
Nishikori:
I played well
Kei was visibly frustrated for losing “I
think I really had one bad game at 5-4. I think until then, I was playing
better. I mean, he was hitting good serves, but you know, I had all the
chances. But just one bad game at 5-4; I think that’s all that matters in
today’s match.”
Next
vs. Murray
Feliciano will play Murray
in the quarters. Head to head is 9-0
for Murray that has conceded just 2 sets to the Spaniard in their previous
encounters.
Andy commented “Against Lopez, I’ve
got a good record against him, but he’s always a tough opponent because of the
way that he plays and the way that he serves. He’s also still improving. He’s
been playing the best tennis of his career these last 18 months or so, and
obviously had a great win today against Nishikori. I think these
conditions here are good for him. It helps his serve a lot, so it will be a
tricky match.”
