I don( know why people overrate Ferrer , I understand that he plays his heart out never gave up and one of the most humble players at lost but he just doesnt any special thing about him
Congrats Kei 🎂. Nishikori had (not the same as before due to injuries) impeccable timing on the ball and uses his talent to take his shots early and force his opponents immediately on to the back foot. This is how he is able to dominate players who are significantly taller than him and often get them covering more ground than he does. His return of serve is one of the best in the business and his movement is second to none. His style of play is perfectly suited to hard courts.
@Shawn pffff hahahahahaha, you sound like you're quoting shakespeare or something, don't try to put yourself above others. Someone with "a higher level of understanding" should know that.
@Shawn okay that's perfectly fine and all, but i wasn't talking about that. I was talking about the fact that you act like you are better than other people in this comment section, saying you have "a higher level of understanding of the game and the world" is pretty arrogant and a little cringeworthy, you follow that up "for me it is better to think of them as children than etc etc." it comes off as you seeing yourself as above the rest of us. And you have to admit it's a little dramatic for a comment on a youtube video about tennis.
@Shawn i have interacted a LOT with this community and i agree, much of it is childish, i simply thought the way in which you put yourself above everyone else was unecessary and frankly a bit over the top and dramatic.
I honestly don’t understand this comment. All his movements are really crisp, and could even be described as stiff; flexibility is the last word I would use to describe Kei’s game.
The 60fps footage looks absolutely amazing here. It's really great to be able to see the ball move smoothly on the field. Thank you for not 'forcing' 24 or 30fps.
Being that small body, he needed to compete with these legends with pure technique. It was very tough. His tactics which is hitting a ball on a rising is a big weapon but at the same time, It is high risk.
If it weren’t for the Big 3, he’d have a few majors at least. Kei is any tennis enthusiast’s pick, and his quality against the top players shows that he was never afraid.
Theres so much more too it in the grand slams. I really didn't know this guy existed. Been following mev and he did alright against joko but it always seems like he's holding back which I wouldn't doubt.
He could be a much bigger threat to big 3 during 2014-2017 if he was just a couple of inches taller.. such impeccable timing and hand-eye coordination he has.. just needed to have a bigger serve, better reach on the ball and fitness.
Like what Common Dirtbagz said, height doesn’t really matter with his match ups against them. Serve yes, but fitness is what burned him out. His footwork and timing makes up for his lack of reach. If he had Dimitrov’s fitness, he would’ve won 1 or more Masters and maybe a GS.
I hope his career won't end without a Master's title. He really should of won Madrid 2014, where he really pushed Rafa on the ropes. His career might have turned out a bit differently had he won it. He went on to reach the finals of the U.S. in the same year beating Novak in the semis, so don't know how much the retirement would of affected his life. He has sustained so many injuries throughout his career and considering his age (32), I don't see him getting back to where he used to be, but I still believe he has enough left to win a couple of more 250, if not 500 or 1000, titles. Can't wait for him to return to competition!
at 9:28 occured to me that Tennis TV should make a video "What It Takes To Convert Break Points Against Nadal", featuring some sick points like this one. I remember some amazing rallies because Nadal just wouldn't miss
That is actually the smartest idea!! I love that would up for it!! We also post tennis videos of ourselves and would love to hear some of your ideas on our channel 🔥🎾🎾🎾
Not just that ,his talent isn’t that high anyway. There are plenty of players that are more talented than him ,Nalbandian,Monfils,Fognini , and Kyrgios for example. What really matter is actually attitude , Kei is def one of the most hard-working player on tour.If those players which I mention above show half the commitment he got ,they will already be multi Gs champion . I always think Kei is a down graded version of Davydenko, around the same height , similar play style,very gritty .Davy got better endurance and persistence imo,he is just unlucky that prime Fed blocked all his all to success except the WTF 2009 ,also he is pretty injury free until 2010 ,that final injury cause his career. Del Potro is the guy who was ripped off with all success cause of injury,mainly because of his height and weight,putting too much pressure in any movement. Remember 2009?Where Federer was still in his late prime and Rafa in full ,he was able to beat them both before Novak or Murray does it .He was also an all -rounded player who can play on every surface (USO champ ,reach Semi of both Wimbledon and RG),he can challenge the big three in any given day if he is healthy ,countless 5-setters against them. He is more lethal than Murray ,more stable than Wawrinka,the big 4 will probably be him not Murray if he didn’t have a glass body.
@@merptin200 We are talking abt Asians from Asia, Asian born. Chang was BORN in America. That's like making the best African tennis players and including Tiafoe or Blake in there.
So sad, as it was all for nothing as far as bigger on court achievements are concerned for Kei. He came so so close once to topple down Rafa at his home in one of the biggest Tournaments, i.e., Madrid Final. But ended up loosing it because of sudden on court injuries/fatigue. He had ousted Nole at US Open Semi only to lose to Cilic in the biggest tournament/final of his career. He had caused all sorts of troubles even to GOAT like Federer & had a good head-to-head against him when they begun their rivalries. How destiny can be so tough & cruel to someone may be seen by having a look at Kei Nishikori's career so far. Pity for him...😑
2023年俺たちの錦織が帰ってきた！
またプレーを見れるだけで嬉しい！！
2023 our Nishikori is back!
Just happy to see him play again!
He is 31 years old.
Not so old, but not so young.
I hope he wins a Masters title before his retirement.
Me too
Me three
Me four
Me five
Me six!
Probably one of the most talented players to not win a slam or a master
David ferrer.

My favorite player to watch. Blazing talent and competitiveness along with stellar composure and sportsmanship. I could watch his matches all day.
I miss him :( Such a dynamic player and his pace of play and earliness of strike on the baseline is one of the best in the world.
I'm Rafan, but there is no doubt that Kei is one of the most talented players in the tennis history.

He uses his wrist so well, look at that flexibility he's got!!
I honestly don’t understand this comment. All his movements are really crisp, and could even be described as stiff; flexibility is the last word I would use to describe Kei’s game.
One of my favorite tennis player, hoping for your comeback.
I love his backhand, up there with the best ever for me. Such remarkable timing I could watch it all day!

What a player! Always admired him and love how he play the sport, miss him so much.
He is my favorite player.
Love the way how he is so cool and calm

6:18 個人的にプロの球の速さも実感出来るし錦織の凄さも分かる良いシーン
クレーなのに球速速くないですか？
Prime Kei was so fun to watch, shame he didn"t win any Master ....
He has a great backhand and hits so clean
My best player nowadays in tennis..tiger.(kei)nishikori.❤
The Madrid 2014 final will haunt him forever
No doubt he would have won that match if he didn’t get injured
I tell you...🙆 Disaster of a shock that was....!!
Yo kei is so underrated hope he gets back to the top 💪
Plz come back Kei!!!!
Kei Nishikori on his prime was one of the best
I miss watching Nishikori’s strokes. He was so so good.
Kei’s backhand needs to be recognized more
I don't understand why he hasn't even won a single Masters title.
いや黙れよ

He's already has 4 chances.
But end up lose all of it.
I really miss watching Kei play, for someone of his stature he really knew how to utilize his body because his shots looked really strong.
its a shame Kei has had injuries in the past he is a really gifted tennis player
Pride of Japan! Please come back!
I hope he’ll completely get recovered from his injury and show us everything he has
こんなんかっこいいに決まってるやん

フットワークと体幹は世界最強クラスだろこれ。短い足でよく追いついて、しかも角度つけて打てるな...
Hoping he can win a masters 1000 before his career is over he def deserves one for how consistently good he’s been over the past decade
I am proud of him as Japanese!!
If it weren’t for the Big 3, he’d have a few majors at least. Kei is any tennis enthusiast’s pick, and his quality against the top players shows that he was never afraid.

Mostly fitness. Height isn’t what makes the difference in their matches.

The match between Kei and Roger at WTF 2015 was so underrated!
He was one of the players closest to prime big4 including Wawrinka and Delpo.
kei is my favorite player
So talented
Happy birthday Kei👨❤️👨
動きのキレがすごい
6:17 very skillfull
僕もこのポイントが一番お気に入り
i like how he can choreograph the position of his opponent .. and then set the ball far away as possible rom the opponent lol
Época brillante!
Tsitsipas showing once again he's the best player in the world
A pure pleasure to watch him play
Wrong video man
I like how in the shot selection,he rekted Rafa except the Miami one, close against Roger ,and get rekted by Djokovic in the scoreboard.
0:14 the judge line was like😧
錦織さんのバックってあまり回転かかってないように見えたけど、
リプレイで後ろからとかで見たらめっちゃ早くスピンかけてるのがわかって驚いた。
"this was like wii tennis" 2:26
He had ability to win Grand Slam.
動画出て嬉しい😊
i want him to come back to the top 10.
Even if I wasn't Japanese, I would still be a big fan of his because there are very few players as attractive as him.
He’s gonna be the next worlds best
In another universe, maybe
@@Adanda1a-p5u 😂😂 U just don’t wanna see him have a higher rank as Thiem

one of those guys like berdych who was amazing but just couldnt get past that last hurdle of the big three often enough

the style of play is similar. the paradorn is much faster than the paradorn and
much better power.
同じ日本人としてとても誇りに思います。
あの一昔前の全盛期ビッグ3にここまで食い込める人は世界でもほんの一握りでした
その中に日本人がいたことは今後も偉大な侍の選手がいたと語り継がれると思います！
Hseih Su-Wei and Kei Nishikori have the same drop shot style interestingly enough.
A super talented player let down by lack of a serve. Speedy with great technique
If he had been a little bit taller, maybe his serve would’ve been better
0:12やべぇ...
His glass body couldn't handle his talent.

His ground stroke is on the same level as big4.
But his service game is a huge weakness.
