Nishikori is different type of player. He'll likes to build the points with placement, precision, variation. Trying to get opponent out of position and/or get a shorter ball before going for the kill. Like the matchup for Kei in this one, but his 9 consecutive finals losses is a disturbing stat.
I can get on board about Moraing. When he's in form, he's really difficult to stop. He plays so aggressive and flat from both wings, when he's feeling it in faster conditions there is really not much opponent can do. And Dutra Silva is much more of a dirtballer. He will struggle to deal with all that pace. Good luck
