Nishikori in his prime (whatever year you think that is; for me its 2014 or 2016) is going to play a best of 3 setter on hard court against the top 10 right now. How many does he beat?
-
Fritz
-
Hurkacz
-
Rune
-
Zverev
-
Tsitsipas
-
Rublev
-
Sinner
-
Medvedev
-
Alcaraz
-
Djokovic
Top 5. I wouldn’t favor him vs the top 4, but he should do better against them compared to Rublev.
His serve might be a weakness against guys like Zverev and Rune, but he should be more consistent than them.
