Shingo Kunieda vs Alfie Hewett | US Open 2020 Final

[@joehoward7426]

Unbelievable upper body strength to hit some of these shots. Respect to these guys

[@catedoge3206]

Yes

[@codeinememeing2916]

just look at how hard they have push their wheels to move to each ball every point. crazy

[@dl3074]

The Japanese guy needs to shut TF up.

[@maxpepper7800]

Most definitely

[@Boomshakalaka7654]

These guys have names

[@ajneufeld762]

Something about this makes it feel more like it’s own sport and less like a disability. This is truly impressive, definitely the best at what they do

[@88feji]

Yes, the athleticism looks doubly more impressive than normal tennis ..

[@adaukken]

Was thinking the same...Impressive indeed

[@Andrew-ig5sp]

Saw a clip on tv and had to see game play. Incredible tennis players! Most impressive!

[@baker2151]

I wish they make the wheelchair tennis trophy as cool as the other trophies. That looks like a metal bowl...

[@elijahs.1429]

Keep in mind, the doubles trophies aren’t much to look at either.

[@baker2151]

@@elijahs.1429 Ah that's unfortunate too.

[@Tan99bani]

Exactly

[@vijayant_rai]

Yeah bro

[@Sgt_Bacon189]

You are absolutely right, that looks nothing like a trophy.

[@AJ-iu6nw]

It looks like 2 bounces allotted per side, interesting, makes sense completely. Wheelchair tennis actually is fun to watch!

[@valar_dohaeris7387]

Agreed, it should definitely get more attention

[@nunyadamnbidness2531]

yes i can't believe i just discovered it. can normies play?

[@janmuller639]

Sgt. Pepper Well that’s just some utter nonsense. If you want to believe in immortality feel free to do so but this ain’t the proof of it.

[@janmuller639]

Sgt. Pepper I do admire your will to look for the positives tho and trying to create a new perspective

[@gargaduk]

And you can even hit the ball into your own field 2:54

[@keikoueda4609]

He is incredible. I just found out that He won grand slam 25 times !!( quote from Wikipedia ) I am thrilled that this year he is reaching his 26th after 5 years.

[@catedoge3206]

Amazing!

[@mence5992]

He also has 20 slams in double and 3 paralympic Gold medals.

[@xyzzzzz01]

[@nchlsjohn]

Man. I’m already tired just watching at how much athleticism these men have. They’re more in shape than I am. So amazed and proud of the work they’ve put in. Congrats to the champ and finalist.

[@garebfeumba5407]

Wheelchair tennis has my attention now, it looks fun and these athletes are incredible.

[@gordoboy18]

This is crazy... respect to these guys, looks exhausting.

[@deanryanmartin]

I saw a video training of wheelchair tennis. It is high level, believe me.

[@marck6099]

すごい！おめでとう！！ Thiemも努力してきたんだろうなあと思いましたが Kuniedaのプレーをみて”信は力なり”を強く感じました。 心の力、努力の力、信じる力 自然と熱い涙と勇気をもらいました。 今、数少ない、信に誇れる日本人の一人かと思います。 おめでとう！ Congratulations!!! I feel "Trust becomes force" "Believing is power" from his play. He is great Japanese!!! Congratulations!!!

[@blackgravy4996]

Had no idea they could play at this level!! Amazing.......much respect!!

[@s33thr3w]

How am I only discovering this now? This looks sick!!! The 2 bounces really makes this interesting. Unfortunate there's no one in the audience to cheer them on!

[@JammastaJ23]

The power they get from a sitting position is outrageous and the mobility is remarkable. Really impressive.

[@smilodontiger5675]

This is the first time I have seen wheelchair tennis and I have to say I was really impressed with it. Wonderful athleticism shown by both players. Really enjoyed watching it.

[@パワセ名人]

四大大会で日本人から同時に2人もチャンピオンが出るなんて、、、 日本の誇りです🇯🇵

[@StefanoRacca-h1h]

Spettacolare, ma soprattutto grandissimi ATLETI!!!👏👏👏👏

[@VocalBeast]

This is actually pretty fun to watch! Will be keeping an eye on wheelchair tennis from now on, very impressive stuff!

[@Maple8man]

Congratulation Shingo Kunieda! 🇯🇵

[@ayokay123]

Can't believe what I'm watching for the first time. Impossibly cool!

[@ianmcdonald9233]

Both of these guys would easily destroy me in a match.

[@noe9250]

they’re professional tennis players so yeah

[@omdesai7129]

Respect to these guys 🎉

[@astinnugs]

Kunieda the goat of mens wheelchair tennis. 45 grand slams with a career win rate of almost 90%!

[@claunko]

how can someone even dislike this....can't you feel how strong their minds are through the screen. Incredible

[@lgeiger]

These guys are unbelievable. So fun to watch as well. The coordination and anticipation you need for this blows my mind. Congrats to Kunieda!

[@WiTTeNx]

3:37 bruh that shot from hewett was major league level, 1st time watching this sport and i really enjoyed it, looks really awsome and on a high level of play too. how fast they position themselves, the angles they manage to hit some shots. .Respect

[@JTMason001]

These guys are incredible, and it’s too bad that the champion gets that tiny little bowl. Compared to the other champions in singles who get huge trophies.

[@yneshAshanti]

Mad respect. The fitness levels required for this is unimaginable.

[@dlinsanity]

insane. they're playing most of these points with one bounce too. mad respect.

[@DerekOfRivia]

This is the greatest thing ive ever seen. My new favorite sport.

[@imakintv]

Incredible Kunieda!

[@pungkhabrahma17]

Hats off to both 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Chubzdoomer]

As someone who's just now picking up tennis at 35, this is beyond inspirational. These guys are absolute BEASTS!

[@getsmartpaul]

Much respect to these athletes. First time watching wheelchair Tennis. :)

[@mailezambrano6346]

I don’t know why but watching this is keeping me at the edge of my seat, like just when you think someone’s not gonna return the ball they get it in the last possible second!!

[@university0701]

おめでとう！！

[@sagnikmukherjee5108]

Unbelievable court coverage. These guys are champs. Respect brothers.

[@hemantmegavath6870]

[@jensonhartmann3630]

Im in a wheelchair, for 31 of 34 years. (Car accident when I was 3). Complete upper body mobility, just can't walk. Im EXHAUSTED watching these guys and im somewhat fit lol.

[@akilansundaram2181]

One of the best sports there is, I mean it feels like its own sport. Impressive movement around the court and shots. Immense respect to these players.

[@machbostera4113]

[@awilksy1794]

This might be the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen

[@patb.814]

I don't know why, but this was more fun to watch than regular tennis. This and doubles should be shown more on television

[@mackmillzacgz]

First time watching. Kudos to these guys and all other players💯

[@deanryanmartin]

Kuneida hits a winner like a roaring beast. Unbelievable.

[@willlittle4864]

This is unreal! Most people have no idea how tough that is. These guys are rockstars

[@Zenstrx]

takes a lot of energy and precision to control a wheelchair while playing a hard sport like tennis!! Hats off!!

[@999a0s]

Outside of these guys’ insane conditioning and strength it’s so interesting because it puts a whole new twist on tennis through the way they move. It makes shot placement and movement an even bigger part of the game because it’s harder to change your momentum, so movement becomes a lot more strategic. So so cool

[@ex0duzz]

I wouldn't say it's harder to change momentum, since they can spin and continue to use the same momentum, whereas someone standing cannot do that. So if anything it's easier for them to conserve momentum and use it by spinning early.

[@yama-xg9zt]

[@Amit972]

Unbelievable...such a great effort 💓

[@vestibulate]

I was just reading a news article about wheelchair tennis, and I have to admit I was skeptical as to the level of play. But these guys are really outstanding. In particular, the way they maneuver around the court is truly impressive. Sadly, the stands appear empty for this finals match. The tournament organizers should make certain that doesn't happen again, even if it means giving out free tickets. These athletes deserve to play before a crowd.

[@Petermomo5050]

Entertaining

[@갓스포츠]

I didn't know they had wheelchair men's singles in the US OPEN. Amazing..!! These guys are actually fun to watch!

[@markmauk8231]

Every Slam has it for at least 10 years now.

[@flentie]

Easily one of the top 10 finishes in US Open history

[@daco12345]

This is some incredible display of strength, endurance and body control.

[@afvro75]

Wow. These guys can play. I don’t know all the roles for these format but I can see they are allowed to let the ball bounce twice if they need to which is perfectly understandable.

[@machigane7902]

Wow these guys are studs! Amazing to watch. Hats off!

[@diehypotenuse4908]

Incredible and way more impressive then the most of other sports

[@bigmurff]

Honestly these guys deserve much more respect. The fact that they have to exert force to move the wheel chair and still maintain strength and accuracy in their serves and returns, that's tough!
