I don't like Japanese game in this tour. I hope Croatian will be able to send off big Asian talent away from this tour. I like his game against Djokovic in Dubai and even if he isn't such a big revelation like Kai but he only loss to players like Bolleli, Youzhny, Blake, Kohlschreiber in this year so I think he can take a close fight with Nishikori who don't posses such strong serve and hist. Kai won tour in Delray Beach in final and lost in San Jose to Roddick. But here in Indian Wells in qualifications he don't look so well. Two 3 set matches. First against Bogdanovic, he got to defend many break points, but still his serve was quite good, but with Niemayer he faced more break points and his serve went even down and only weak Niemyer game persuade him to go through this. Cilic is much more stronger than these two that Kai met in qualies and with such game I don't see big chances for him. Marin is stable average player that can stop fantastic marathon of young Japanese. We will see...
