Nadal For Slam Venus

Tennis Betting Lines

Down 30-40 and 1-5 in the third set, Nishikori scrambled to win a long rally with Murray, who was forced to chase down a ball in the back court that he could only send harmlessly to the net.

 

Nishikori was there for an easy volley, forcing deuce, but Murray followed with a service winner and captured the match on the next point.

 

"After a couple games, I was OK," said Nishikori. "He played really well today."

 

Nishikori was the first Japanese man to reach the quarterfinals at a Grand Slam event since Shuzo Matsuoka in 1995 (Wimbledon) and he's also the first Japanese man in 80 years to reach the Aussie Open quarters.

 

Murray is still looking to break through for his first major title. He said he's not feeling more relaxed on the court based on his recent history, just more experienced.

 

"Just more used to being in this position because of the experience," Murray said.

 

The 25-year-old Nadal and 30-year-old Federer will meet for a 27th time, with the Spaniard leading the all-time series 17-9. Nadal is 7-2 in their Grand Slam meetings, including wins in their last four matchups. The two stalwarts have met in a men's record eight major finals, with Nadal winning six of them. They are in the same half of the draw at a major for the first time since 2005.

 

The second-seeded Nadal is a 10-time major champion and the reigning French Open titlist. The third-seeded Federer, who will appear in his 30th Grand Slam semifinal, is a men's record 16-time Grand Slam champ, including a men's Open Era record-tying four Aussie titles.

 

Melbourne, Australia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Williams sisters, Serena and Venus, will play Fed Cup tennis in Massachusetts for the United States next week. The sisters will lead the U.S. against Belarus in a best-of-five Group II tie in Worcester from February 4-5. The Americans are not in the World Group this year, which means they cannot capture an 18th Fed Cup title.
