MIAMI – World No. 4 Kei Nishikori was made to work hard by 57th-ranked Federico Delbonis of Argentina to advance to the Miami Open men’s singles quarterfinals with a 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 victory on Tuesday.
After taking the first set with ease, Nishikori started making sloppy mistakes in the second as a troublesome left knee started hindering his movement. After receiving treatment, the Japanese dropped three straight games to see the match at Crandon Park Tennis Center leveled at 1-1.
