 What's going on everybody? Welcome to another match preview. We are going through the quarter finals of Wimbledon. We're finally here It's in the second week of Wimbledon. We're finally at the quarter final stages And we're gonna be going through Federer versus Nishikori and see how they've gone on a side note Nishikori's made his fifth grand slam quarter final in a row So the last five grand slams including this one. He's made the quarter finals So we'll go through the row to the quarter finals so far for both players. We'll start with Federer So as you can see best result here, we know how many times he's won this. He's won this eight times before He's an absolute dominant force at Wimbledon And as you can see last time he won it was in 2017 Against Marin Chilich and injured Marin Chilich, but still he won the trophy in 2017 first round He lost the first set against a young South African Lloyd Harris Very shockingly because a lot of people thought that Federer was gonna wipe through the competition His draw was actually pretty easy compared to someone like Nadal So it was very interesting to see him lose the first set But then as you can see there after that he dominated in that match and continued to dominate all the way up until this stage So he beat Clark in the second round a young wild card from the UK He beat Luca Pui in the third round not a great performance by Federer But still enough to get him through and then Baratini was the huge shock I thought for sure that Baratini massive you know massive serve massive ground strokes good form on grass courts I think it was 13 or 14 wins on the grass in this short season Federer put him away in about an hour and a half, and it was a little less than an hour and a half It was one of the clothes. I think it was the fastest match That's in a win in a Wimbledon or a Grand Slam fourth round men's match So super quick Baratini out in very quick sets and now he's playing Nishikori in the next round Let's go see what Nishikori has done so far. So like I said Nishikori has made his fifth Grand Slam quarter-final in a row which is a huge achievement very consistent over the last 18 months But as you can see he's only dropped the one set he won against Montero in the first round Brazilian player he beat Nori in the second round really easily in that third set Then Johnson was coming off a five-set match and he beat him in straight sets I thought maybe there was a little bit of danger there and then against Kukushkin Dominated lost the second set but dominated the rest of the match So Nishikori's only dropped a set Federer's only dropped a set up until this point Let's look at their head-to-head because it gets really interesting in in their head-to-head So as you can see the last time they played Nishikori actually won that match So it's 7-3 overall in favor of Federer no surprise there Everyone would assume that Federer is the favorite against most players and has a winning record against most players But Nishikori won their last meeting. It was at the ATP finals last year in London And a huge win there. They actually played I think three tournaments in a row Paris Masters the last week of the 2018 season and Shanghai was a month before that So they played three weeks, you know within probably a month of each other very very close you know In in time and it's very interesting to see that Nishikori could overcome those losses against Federer and somehow beat him in London The last time they played Nishikori served at 76% of first serves So he's gonna have to serve really well against Federer on the grass courts He's gonna have to serve within the 70s to 80 range Definitely needs to do that last time they played Federer only had two breakpoints and he couldn't convert So very interesting to see Federer didn't have many chances against Nishikori So again Nishikori needs to limit the opportunities for Federer if he's a chance of winning this match Then you can see last round when Nishikori played in the fourth round He had fifth he won five of thirteen break points We had a lot of opportunities against Kokushkin, but he couldn't take all the opportunities It was enough to get him through but still he's gonna have to convert a lot of break points Especially because Federer is not gonna give him that many he's gonna have to convert all the break points He gets and in the last round Federer only hit Five unforced errors. So very very clean hitting from Federer. I didn't you know one in about what? 75 minutes or something like that So yeah only hit five errors within that time frame as well So Nishikori is gonna have to hope that Federer is not playing the same quality of tennis He was in the fourth round. So let's talk about who's gonna win this match now as you can see 7-3 head-to-head record It's a tough one. It's a tough one because Federer is coming off a pretty good win Federer hasn't looked great on this, you know during when wouldn't he's had a couple of tough matches Pui You know he won in straight sets, but it looked a little bit on the score a little bit tighter than it was Then it you know it's actually pretty tight when you look at the stats and stuff like that And Nishikori's had a really good tournament so far, but even though Nishikori's had a really good tournament so far. I Can't go past Roger Federer. I think that he had the easiest draw probably with Novak Djokovic easiest draw to this point Baratini was a good win as well Baratini in that straight sets after what I said Baratini coming off one of the best Grass court seasons of any player this year and he put him away like he was you know not meant to play on the grass court So I think Federer is gonna win this match I think Federer's just got too many weapons on the grass against Nishikori. Maybe a hard court I'd make it a little bit more 50-50 and try maybe give Nishikori a set But I can't see Nishikori beating Federer here. I can't see him I can get it maybe get him a give him a set But I don't think he can beat him on the grass courts of Wimbledon So that's the quarterfinal for Nishikori versus Federer stick around because we are gonna do all the quarterfinals Make sure you subscribe to the channel if you haven't already like the video and I'll see you guys in the next one
