Nishikori could give him some serious problems. He frustrates people like Djokovic does getting to balls they think are clear winners and making them hit one more shot. He made easy work of him at the Aussie, but lost in last year's US Open quarter in 5 sets. I watched that match and couldn't believe it was even close. Wawrinka had something like 72 unforced errors. I like Nishikori and would like to see that semi.
