Watch Miami Open 2016: Nick Kyrgios vs Kei Nishikori semifinal preview, live streaming info and score updates
Nick Kyrgios will look to continue his impressive run at the Miami Open when he meets Kei Nishikori in the semifinal round of the tournament in Key Biscayne, Florida.
Kyrgios attempts to keep his bid for a second ATP World Tour-level title of his career alive in the semifinal round of the Miami Open, where the Aussie teen battles world No. 6 Nishikori.
The 20-year-old Canberran, who has never dropped a set at Crandon Park Tennis Center this season, continued his remarkable form after defeating Canada’s Milos Raonic 6-4 7-6(4). The victory did not only earn Kyrgios a spot at the Miami Open, but also a chance to break into the world’s top 20 players.
"I'm feel as if I'm a lot stronger, a lot fitter and I've just got more experience," Kyrgios said, reports the BBC. "The last couple of years on tour have been a bit of a rollercoaster, but I've learned a lot."
Meanwhile, Nishikori won an epic battle with Gael Monfils, overcoming a five match point to beat the Frenchman 4-6 6-3 7-6(3). The 26-year-old Japanese fell behind 0-40 serving at 4-5, but was able to erase the match point and another in that game en route to one more match point serving in the 13th game.
"I thought I almost gave up the match,'' Nishikori said, reports ESPN. “It was tough conditions. Especially the last couple of games, I don't know what I was thinking.''
Nishikori’s match against Kyrgios will be just their second meeting. Their only outing was at the ATP World Tour Masters in Shanghai last year, where Nishikori defeated Kyrgios 1-6 6-4 6-4.
The victor will have a chance to face the winner between world No. 1 Novak Djokovic and David Goffin, who battle in the other half of the final four bracket.
