錦織は２セット目から肉離れしていたのに最後まで戦い続けました。
エアーKのみならずドロップショット、あいての予想を超えた配球、何よりも最後まで攻め続けた心の強さに軍配があがりました:*:・(￣∀￣)・:*:
TVのアナウンスでも
Smaller player beated bigger player! NISHIKORI had a great guts!

あ～NYに今すぐにでもいって３回戦を応援したいいいいい
以下は錦織選手の記事で～す。
肉離れしても戦い続けた松岡修造と同じだと書かれてますよ。
連勝中の錦織選手、疲れが溜まっているのではと心配です。
これ以上怪我しないでほしいですね。
英語の勉強がてら以下の記事よんでね(^-^)/
Nishikori, ranked 147th, fought off cramping in the hottest day of a scorching week to defeat Cilic 5-7, 7-6 (8/6), 3-6, 7-6 (7/3), 6-1 in an exhausting duel.
"I don't know how long I've played now. I'm pretty tired," Nishikori said. "I was cramping from the second set but I kept fighting and fighting and got the fourth set tie-breaker. That was key for me. It was a great match.
"It was hot but I feel good now."
The triumph, Nishikori's fifth in a week counting qualifying matches, came on the same Grandstand court where Japan's Shuzo Matsuoka writhed in cramping agony in 1995, left unaided lest he be defaulted in a move that led to changes in medical treatment of players.
"I've seen it many times," Nishikori said of the video. "It was sad to see him like that. No one can help."
Cilic, who reached his first Grand Slam quarter-final at last year's US Open and advanced to this year's Australian Open semi-finals, edged Nishikori for the first set and blasted an ace for a 6-5 lead in the second set tie-breaker.
Nishikori, 20, answered with a forehand smash to level and then fired an ace of his own, one that sparked complaints that the ball was wide from Cilic, who then double faulted to squander the set and slammed down his racket in anger.
Cilic, 21, won the only break-point chance of the third set with a backhand winner in the eighth game to reclaim the advantage.
Nishikori, whose run to the fourth round in 2008 was his best Slam showing and the best US Open showing by a Japanese man since 1937, jumped to a 4-1 lead in the fourth set before Cilic broke back and they held into a tie-breaker.
Nishikori hit a drop volley winner for a 6-3 tie-break edge and forced a fifth set when Cilic sent a crosscourt backhand wide.
Cilic surrendered a break to open the last set and another in the fifth to give Nishikori a 4-1 edge and the Japanese star broke again for the match with both men weary.
Nishikori will next face Spanish 21st seed Albert Montanes, who ousted Australian wild card Carsten Ball 6-4, 6-3, 6-1.
３回戦もがんばれ～！！！
