The Trifecta: Nishikori, Bottini, and Chang

After Kei Nishikori's fabulous run at the 2014 US OPEN his ranking has soared to world No.#6! Kei just keeps getting better and better and the buzz surrounding the reason for his most recent success are due to his new coach Michael Chang who has been working with Kei since 2013 along with his full time coach Dante Bottini. 

Whose it going to be K.Nishikori or M.Cilic?

We are all anxiously awaiting for this years 2014 US OPEN final to commence! For Japan's Kei Nishikori, he has already made history by becoming the first Japanese Man to reach the US OPEN Final. If Kei comes out victorious it will go down in the history books as Japan's proudest moments in Tennis. For Cilic (Croatia) this too will be his first ever grand slam final EVER!

'ALL THE BEST TO BOTH PLAYERS!! MAY THE BEST MAN PREVAIL!!'
