Nishikori: I am close to my top form

Kei Nishikori was pleased with his latest victory over the Australian Open. He prevailed over Ivan Dodig from Croatia in four sets.

"The match lasted with four long sets. Ivan managed to show excellent game especially at the beginning. He was very confident in defence and served valiantly. In the third and the fourth set I found my game and I was more aggressive. "

"I think that I am close to my best tennis. This success gives me a confidence before the new meetings. I want to be in the top form at the end of the race," said Nishikori.

The next opponent will be Steve Johnson from the United States.
