Nishikori, the 2014 U.S. Open finalist, is working with 1989 French Open winner Michael Chang as coach and says the extra attention to detail is good for his game.
"It's always great support from Michael. That's why I've been playing really well," Nishikori said. "He's a very nice guy outside of the court - on the court he's very tough."
