Kei Nishikori Court Level Practice (4K 60FPS) Australian Open 2021

[@mr.tomyum732]

Kei has an amazing game. Backhand is one of the greatest of all time shots in tennis. His only weakness was his serve really. His very spinny forehand sometime didn’t hurt his opponent as much as it should have. But it is still a very good shot. If he had a stronger serve, for sure he will be top 10 top 5 player. His mental is one of the best ever and stamina/speed is one of the greatest also

[@trevorhunka7689]

I don't think the forehand is nearly good enough. He has the same technique problem that Kyrgios does.

[@monstertrucktennis]

@@trevorhunka7689 care to elaborate?

[@samster978]

His mental game is weak it never looks like he truly believes he can win against the top 5.

[@lukewilson624]

I don't think he can really improve his serve anymore at his height.

[@KingCast65]

Yah. I've always liked him too.

[@mrmisterMJ]

Terrific player in the wrong era. He could never really get over the Big 3 + Murray bump (or rather, mountain) - lifetime 9-47 record against the quartet. He reached the quarterfinals or better in 12 major events but lost 11 of those matches to a GS winner (only exception being Tsonga). Exceptional technique and movement but just not enough ooompf on his serve to bag easy points ... and a bit lacking in durability and physique to grind out deep in the second week of majors. He was Djokovic v0.75 and that's a hell of a compliment.

[@jamesromano3288]

ok.....u know zero

[@ynza5230]

As a heavy Nishikori fan from Japan, I have to agree with u. His groundstrokes really had the potential to outplay even the best guys on the tour, but his serve was just not enough to get more short-points, which matters the most in the sport especially in those close moments in the match. Really miss those players who have their own unique styles...

Kei looks much taller than on the TV

[@lowvariance]

super nice backhand. If he was a couple inches taller he'd be a grand slam winner.

[@djeeee911]

Kai is awesome, but I always think this guys as pushed his body to 130% of his potential to get at this level. How long can he take that ? Very inspiring player.

I invented an exercise to develop reflexes at home. I bought a small rubber rugby ball. I stand up and throw it against the ceiling, which is not very high. The ball shot randomly and the bounce is unpredictable. the idea is that you can catch it after the rebound.

Kei's body type just is simply not built for the rigors of pro tennis. Although his game is very solid and he is an excellent player, his body has not held up well to the demands of the game.

[@ricclee8559]

Kei is super talented, but I think sponsors overpaid him for someone who only reached 1 slam final.

[@RogerPham]

Not really, he was one of the Asians that reached top level in a sports where non-Asians dominate 99.99% of the time. So it puts him 1st in Asia's big market of Uniqlo.

[@Rybargamer]

Let´s be real here. He never had some incredible technique (other than his backhand) worth copying. His serve technique is weak compared to others in his ranking range. His FH has some increadible racquet head speed and spin, BUT it is extremely forced and requieres quite a lot energy to pull it of. Other aspect of his game are average. Oh, and he runs like an athlete. He had some major injuries over the years. Mainly because of his forced forehand. And now, he just doesn´t have the same stamina as he used to. Sad, but true...

[@daxuesheng4123]

He constructs each point well and plays smart. That is another great aspect of him. He is also good at net and slice shot. His slice is definetely better than Zverev, Medve, Ruvlev, Diego and... He is super talented.

[@drdickenbalz]

What makes his FH forced and require a lot of energy? It looks fairly smooth to me.

[@UnknownPerson200]

Whats your point? His goal is to break the top 10. He's able to do that. However, he just came back from a huge hiatus. He's going to need match experience before he can (hopefully) return to normal.

[@angejo5591]

his forehand technique is so clean. and are you sure his injuries are due to the forehand technique or are you making that up like 99% of tennis couch viewers

[@Rybargamer]

@@drdickenbalz Well you can see that he changes his grip at the last second to compensate for that unconventional takeback. Also, during his actual swing, his racquet has almost 0 lag. This means, that he is tense through out the motion and that he forces racquet to stay in that position. It takes quite a lot of energy and upper body strenght to pull it off. Also, you can see that on almost every point he launches himself forward. This is also due to that tightness in his swing. If you compare it to some loose forehand with tons of racquet lag (Roger for example) you can clearly see that he doesn´t even need to move during his actual swing. TL;DR if you are tight, you will compensate it by upper body. With loose stroke you don´t need to do that cause the kinetic chain reaction in stroke. You simply let racquet motion do the job for you rather than your body.
