Nishikori pushes Nadal all the way, but Spaniard prevails

Insanity, said Einstein, is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result, except in tennis, in which doing the same thing over and over is the way to gaining better results, incrementally. It has been one of the motifs of Nadal's grand career. Look at his peers and their mentors: Djokovic/Becker, Federer/Edberg, Murray/Lendl. Nishikori's is Michael Chang, a one-time major winner. Nadal's is uncle Tony, and always has been.
