Andy Murray maintains his hot streak with an easy win over Kei Nishikori in the Shanghai semifinals on Saturday. Murray will battle David Ferrer for the title.
Andy Murray rolled past Kei Nishikori 6-3, 6-0 in the semifinals of the Shanghai Rolex Masters on Saturday night. The on-fire Murray needed just 56 minutes to set up a showdown in the title match with familiar foe David Ferrer.
Nishikori dropped serve in the third game of the match but managed to hold three of his first four service attempts for 3-4 in the first set. If the Japanese underdog had visions of making this one competitive at that point, Murray had other ideas. The second-seeded Scot promptly won eight straight games to completely run away with the win.
Nishikori, who owned just a single match victory at a Masters event prior to this week, enjoyed the best showing of his career--but it did not end well. The world No. 47 made error after error and moved horribly over the final six games. Nishikori won only one return point in the first set and won a mere 12 total points in the second.
Murray fired seven aces and earned 22 of 23 points when he put in a first serve. The world No. 4 is through to his third consecutive final following titles in Bangkok and Tokyo. He boasts an incredible 24-1 record dating back to the Cincinnati Masters.
