Blake vs. Nishikori – Round 2

The last time James Blake and Kei Nishikori faced each other, Nishikori surprised the tennis world beating him 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 in the finals at Delray Beach. Tonight, they will renew their newly formed rivalry in Houston at the USA Men’s Clay Court Championship. Clay isn’t the favorite surface for either of these two, but you have to give a slight edge here to Blake. Don’t get me wrong, I think Nishikori has a very good chance at winning this match, but I think Blake will have a little extra tonight. Something tells me he doesn’t want this “kid” beating him twice in a row.

How do you think the match is going to go down?
