********************
Nishikori Kei surprised the tennis world. He beat the number 5 seed, the number 3 seed, and then the number 1 seed Djokovic in the U.S. Open, one of the four most important tennis tournaments. He went on to the finals and played Marin Cilic from Croatia. Although Nishikori lost to Cilic, he became the first Japanese man to reach the finals in a Grand Slam tournament. People were also impressed by his racket skills. In his game against Djokovic, he bounced his racket on the court and caught it behind his back without looking at it! (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
