Nishikori's court coverage was amazing. If he can take care of his injury issues, he surely has the best chance of the emerging players - i.e. Raonic, Dimitrov, Nishikori himself - to win a slam. Djoko was clinical. Actually the tournament was won once he beat Murray.

US Open champion Marin Cilic out in the first round of the Shanghai Masters; beaten by fellow Croatian Ivo Karlovic (5-7, 6-2, 6-7)
-
Only Cilic fossible. Geez, how does the US Open champion manage to lose to Karlovic! *facepalm* Cilic has been in absolutely horrendous form since winning USO. Meanwhile Tomic inexplicably managed to lose to Jack Sock after leading in the third set.

^ Guess these are some of the vagaries associated with Tennis or for that matter any sport. Hope the guy doesn't turn out to be a one slam wonder.
-
Yeah, hope so. But DP has drawn a blank so far after 2009. Hasn't even made a slam final since then. Cilic's game is somewhat similar to DP except he is better at moving forward. Let's see.

It looked like Rafa had injured all possible areas and parts of his body already, but here it is... :rotfl:

Don't know why he would want to play with appendicitis. I can only imagine that it would be unbearable.

Another early exit for Wawrinka .. lost to Simon in Shanghai second round ... Davis cup :shaking: ...
Dimitrov also lost his second round to Benneteau ... Unpredictable year of the game continues ...
-
Nishikori out too ... Four players in top ten (Stan,Kei,Cilic and Dimitrov) are out of tournament in second round. Ferrer somehow managed to win today ...
-
...and add Rafa Nadal to the list of players out of the Shanghai Open! Feliciano Lopez beats him 6-3, 7-6!
