Oh phew, I thought Kei had been drawn against Ferrer, just going from the headline. Ferrer won't want to be losing to Kei again quite so soon.. But Nishikori can take him

That's the spirit Kei, and I do believe he nets a cool 150 ATP points by making the last 16 at this event, which should boost his ranking to an all time high. Not as high as Shuzo yet though, have to wait till next year for that perhaps.

I still can't believe it either! Juan Martin Del Potro seems to be in good form at the moment though, so the 4th round match should be interesting, and Kei has a chance to make it through to the last 8.
