The atmosphere is insane. Been a while seeing the stadium with full crowds in 250series. ATP should consider seriously adding the korea open to their annual tournaments with raising to 500.
agreed,japanese people are honourable,pride people,they wont boooe you if you arent japanese for example,unlike the US open(with serena williams) no respect showed there
Even though it was only two sets, this was one of the best bo3 finals of the season. Nishioka has been amazing during this hard court swing, unreal level at times. ATP should consider making Korea a permanent fixture on tour, tons of demand, the crowds were amazing all week.
Wow Seoul puts on a good tournament with lively crowds. The men’s side really delivered. Yoshi is an amazing shot maker. Denis rallied hard. Those were amazing and rallies. Congrats to both.
Yes, but for how beautiful he hits I get so frustrated he just has so much fire in his gut lol he loses so many points due to lack of patience. One of the cleanest hitters I’ve seen both sides
@@kolega427 Shapo's return game is never going to be strong enough to be at the very top of the game. He wins 15% of his return games (Rafa wins 32%). Yoshi is on a great run but he's not an elite server. Only breaking him once gives him little chance to win the match.
I really love Shapo's backhand, not that much of people use the one-handed backhand. It's just so beautiful and fun to watch. Hope he keeps his level and congrats to Nishioka, he played amazingly recently.
I don't know if "beautiful" is the best word. Demitrov and and Gasquet have "beautiful" backhands; Shapo's is better described as "violent"... although he does seem to be leaving the ground when hitting it less as of late. But definitely one of my favorite players to watch because of it!
Fantastic atmosphere at this tournament. And clearly the players were loving it. Big congrats to Nishioka, and so great to see Shapo displaying his incredible ground strokes off both wings - he won tons of new fans in Seoul this week.
They should seriously promote this event to a 500. Packed every day with cheering crowds unlike all those empty 250s in Eastern Europe. Tennis needs live fans!
Heh, I'm literally in Bulgaria right now and I'm not even going to the Sofia Open. One look at the seats available to the public (not the sponsor seating) and I realized that even the most expensive tickets would be a waste of my money.
shapo smiling after his miss at 3:33 is such a big improvement for him. his temper can really mess with him sometimes, now it seems like he's worked it out and can control his feelings on court!
CONGRATULATION YOSHIHITO, you won this tournament with your heart and an incomparable spirit of sacrifice. he knew how to suffer like few others and he never gave up. True samurai !
Nishioka: Keep returning consistently and keep testing with those hits and even if you're being blasted off the court with a lot of winners against you, if the opponent blows up due to the above pressure, on critical points, you will win!! Awesome display. This should have been a perfect match-up for Shap, but his backhand blew up after a testing rally when he went for the big winner to put an end to it and then his forehand could not be consistent enough in the second set key points. Very interesting to see both players moving forwards.
Just when shapo was playing best tennis, nishioka played even better. He was testing Shapo's backhand constantly and shapo didn't disappoint but nishioka's amazing foot work and passing shots let him beat shapo.
That matchup was very interesting. Nishioka good in absorbing pace and striking back, Shapovalov often going for winners, that was some high quality tennis
This is one of the best finals recently, the amount of quality long rallies in these sets was fun to watch, when you end up rooting for either one to win you know it’s good tennis 💯
who cares about news, its only for fear porn compliANTs. Tennis is all that matters and Koreans make the best spectators anywhere, really moving to see their enthusiasm and zest.
it's great to see him performing this way, his coverage to court back to front, side to side. now he's moving to next level to fit into top 10 players.
It is just crazy throughout the tournament that Nishioka was returning directly back to his opponents and was getting overpowered in every game but yet he still won. Amazing.
Wow! Yoshihito you were fantastic all week! What a pleasure it's been to watch you. Eve taking out my favourite player Ruud!! I am so excited to know we will be seeing much more from you inthe future. Show up and your fans will be there!
Terrific - and expected - straight sets win for Yoshihito Nishioka; it was his tournament to lose. After the break back in the second set, you got the sense that nothing was going to stop him. Well deserved win and title!
Nishioka's forehand has so much topspin that forced a lot of errors from Shapo, you can see so many shots Shapo had to make contact uncomfortably therefore disrupts his forms and can't stay solid and relaxed, what an incredible player Nishioka is, future is so huge for a smaller player than most of the pros. Congrats 🎉🎉🎉
Wow,Nishioka really took the Asian land factor to a whole new level,what a match damn,he's Japan best player today by far,hope he can keep this level up.
What an amazing final! Shapo playing out of his mind this Tournament and Nishioka playing like a defensive Djoko, truly one of the best finals of this year.
Crowds were amazing all week, even early rounds! I don't know if it's an asian thing but the crowd looks so engaged. Really showing a span of different emotions during match. It makes it wonderful to watch from TV. Sometimes tennis crowds look kinda bored, makes it a dread to watch. We should all learn to watch tennis from Korean crowds, hopefully it's the same in Tokyo next week!
Great to see Nishioka coming through that one. Shapo has some serious game but it looked like Nishioka was just a bit too steady on the bread-and-butter points. Wonder if Shapo could have tried a few different things to disrupt the rhythm? Looked like Nishioka got comfortable with the pace, as he has been all week.
Shapo did try to disrupt rhythm with drop shots and trips to the net. Nishioka played good defense. Shapo needs to improve his net game and then he can move to the next level.
Normally the Asian players have physical disadvantages, what's more, Nishioka is only 170cm. This is one of great achievement for him. Congratulations 🎊👏💐
If there is one involved in ATP tourment.. please please and 제발.. consider one in Korea. It doesn’t matter it’s 250 or not. People in korea look forward to seeing this lever of tourment again!!! Please!!
I agree with you. Frankly speaking, this kinds of situation is first time in Korea in my opinion. In time , Korea's new 20~30th young man likes tennis, It is boom. We wants atp500 tennis games in Seoul.
Amazing final from both and awesome atmosphere!! That set point missed volley was such a shapo moment though, hopefully one day he clears up his big point mentality
Thanks for showing the winner on the video image time and time again. Always love it when you ruin the result. Smart and thoughtful people working for TennisTV.
LIke I said 2 days ago, Nishioka has been leveling up severely this season... what a tennis he's been playing in Seoul, just watching the highlights makes you wanna think whether Soju works its magic on players, cause holy shit, almost all matches were amazingly high quality! Shapovalov played great too, just too inconsistent with Nishioka getting to every ball and his game being focused on full power attacks. Omedeto Yoshihito!
The Seoul crowd has the best OOOOOOOH reactions after almost every point; I love the engagement, the drama
The atmosphere is insane. Been a while seeing the stadium with full crowds in 250series. ATP should consider seriously adding the korea open to their annual tournaments with raising to 500.
Well said samuel especially if there aren’t tournaments in China
The WTA was packed as well
the seoul crowd seemed so lively, love it
agreed,japanese people are honourable,pride people,they wont boooe you if you arent japanese for example,unlike the US open(with serena williams) no respect showed there
lol no.

I agree. The crowd was one of the best
Cancel all Chinese tournament, and make Korean and Vietnam tournaments!
Wow Seoul puts on a good tournament with lively crowds. The men’s side really delivered. Yoshi is an amazing shot maker. Denis rallied hard. Those were amazing and rallies. Congrats to both.
I love how the crowd is amazed with almost every point. This should be an ATP 500
I hope Shapo keeps this level of tennis. I love watching him play
Yes, but for how beautiful he hits I get so frustrated he just has so much fire in his gut lol he loses so many points due to lack of patience. One of the cleanest hitters I’ve seen both sides
a little bit more precision and less mistakes then he will be at the top of tennis
@@kolega427 agreed, his straight set loss to Djokovic in Wimbledon 2021 was so good, djokovic let him beat himself
@@seankeegan8285 Yep, lack of patience and inaccurate at the most important moments
@@kolega427 Shapo's return game is never going to be strong enough to be at the very top of the game. He wins 15% of his return games (Rafa wins 32%). Yoshi is on a great run but he's not an elite server. Only breaking him once gives him little chance to win the match.
This tournament was amazing, full house crowd, and an insane atmosphere. Congrats to Nishioka and best wishes for Shapo for the next one.
西岡おめでとう！！ワシントンオープン準優勝といい、今年の快進撃がすごすぎる、、
I'm so happy seeing the stadium packed throughout the whole week. Very rarely do you see that for a 250 event. Really hope ATP goes back to Asia more.
I really love Shapo's backhand, not that much of people use the one-handed backhand. It's just so beautiful and fun to watch.
Hope he keeps his level and congrats to Nishioka, he played amazingly recently.
Beauty of single backhand. For real men
I don't know if "beautiful" is the best word. Demitrov and and Gasquet have "beautiful" backhands; Shapo's is better described as "violent"... although he does seem to be leaving the ground when hitting it less as of late. But definitely one of my favorite players to watch because of it!
And he is left handed lol more barely to see
@@HeavyTopspin i prefer the word "explosive".
It is rare, especially for players who start at a young age like Denis did.
Fantastic atmosphere at this tournament. And clearly the players were loving it. Big congrats to Nishioka, and so great to see Shapo displaying his incredible ground strokes off both wings - he won tons of new fans in Seoul this week.
They both hit the balls so hard. Great final. Congrats to Nishioka. And well done Shapovalov too.
They should seriously promote this event to a 500. Packed every day with cheering crowds unlike all
those empty 250s in Eastern Europe. Tennis needs live fans!
Well said
exactly!
Agreed, it almost sounds like the crowd noise is pumped up. Huge appreciation of good shots!
Heh, I'm literally in Bulgaria right now and I'm not even going to the Sofia Open.
One look at the seats available to the public (not the sponsor seating) and I realized that even the most expensive tickets would be a waste of my money.
i couldn't agree with you more
shapo smiling after his miss at 3:33 is such a big improvement for him. his temper can really mess with him sometimes, now it seems like he's worked it out and can control his feelings on court!
Ya, I was expecting him to launch another ball at the umpire's face after that miss.
I think he should have been angry at himself, that was a bad miss on an important point
Personally I think in that moment him laughing was basically a WTF did I just do moment....I wouldn't necessarily call it controlled emotion lol.
wow
as a huge shapo fan... must say, wow:
nishioka has really improved.
breathtaking tennis.
insane level of tennis from nishioka to be able to beat an on-form shapo. Well deserved win 💪
One of the best matches of the year honestly imo….just wow. They were both amazing
Given his height, just shows how very talented he is! Nice one Yoshi!! 🏆
Shapavalovs t shirt was too tight
You don’t need to be that talented to counterpunch and win, I’m sorry.
You should give it a try then trancebeliever. Keep crying
@@trancebeliever that’s one of if not the dumbest comment I’ve ever read under a youtube video
@@yeeeaaahmayneee3808 You've certainly never played a game of tennis to think that a counter striker needs to be very talented to win games.
なんて良い試合なんだ、彼のベストゲームのひとつなんじゃないか！おめでとうッ！！
CONGRATULATION YOSHIHITO, you won this tournament with your heart and an incomparable spirit of sacrifice.
he knew how to suffer like few others and he never gave up.
True samurai !
Hmm, well said
Love the audience appreciating the tennis!
すごい試合だ😂😂😂
日本人のテニスファンとして嬉しい😊
Yoshi doing well again brings a smile to my face, he's been one of my if not favorite tennis player in recent years
Agreed..crowds were great..some of the early rounds stadium was packed..Good effort
Yoshi with the energy. Fantastic passing shots, so quick and determined. Well done.
Nishioka: Keep returning consistently and keep testing with those hits and even if you're being blasted off the court with a lot of winners against you, if the opponent blows up due to the above pressure, on critical points, you will win!!

Great atmosphere and an all lefty final!
Congratulations to Nishioka! 🇯🇵
No grunting, just pure, incredible tennis. More of this please.
Pity there had to be a winner with both being so deserving, big congrats to Nishioka!! Epitome of hard work paying of!

As a "shortie" myself, it's inspiring to me that someone with the same height as myself can compete like this. Keep up the great tennis, Yoshi!
Congratulations Nishioka for second ATP title. 👏👏👍👍 Great game
대회 너무 재밌게 즐겼습니다~~ 앞으로도 한국에서 ATP대회가 개최되기를..
윗댓글들에서 500으로 상향해달라는 애기도 나오는데 그럼 진짜 금상첨화겠네요 ㅎㅎ
South Korea has the best audience, what an atmosphere!!
Another stunning performance by Nishioka. Just ten unforced errors in a two hours match. That makes a difference.
This is one of the best finals recently, the amount of quality long rallies in these sets was fun to watch, when you end up rooting for either one to win you know it’s good tennis 💯
Congrats to Yoshi. His backhand is lethal, if he can get his forehand on the same level he will be a serious threat on tour next year.
what a great final! love it..nishioka got to all those dropshots and passed in very defensive positions.
Always a delight to see a shorter player win because you know it takes heart and skills to win at that height.
There are many dark news in Japan, but we got courage from him.Congrats NISHIOKA!!🎉
What is going in Japan

Do you have a "green" party in politics, too? ;) Greetings from Germany.

In Brazil we have brown news from the dark brown big media always. So I just w atch UA-cam and Telegram.
it's great to see him performing this way, his coverage to court back to front, side to side. now he's moving to next level to fit into top 10 players.
Yoshi!!! His footwork and tactics surpass Shapo's power!!!
That's teriffic!!! Amazing match!!!
Solid shots from both players. Well done. And very well deserved Nishioka. Excellent shot making and working all around the court
Such a nice crowd, such a tight final!
It is just crazy throughout the tournament that Nishioka was returning directly back to his opponents and was getting overpowered in every game but yet he still won. Amazing.
Congratulations to Nishioka. He was knocking at the door for a loooooong time. Good win.
What an amazing victory, Nishioka !!! You have brilliant strokes on both flanks, top class athleticism and a can do heart !! Congratulations ...
Wow! Yoshihito you were fantastic all week! What a pleasure it's been to watch you. Eve taking out my favourite player Ruud!! I am so excited to know we will be seeing much more from you inthe future. Show up and your fans will be there!
Both players present superb baseline skill . What a angle and power . And , Nishioka’s defense footwork is incredible! So nice to watch !
Flawless week from Yoshihito. It was beautiful to watch.
Nishioka's footstep was another level. +Critical and sensitive touch made his second title. Congratulations!
Terrific - and expected - straight sets win for Yoshihito Nishioka; it was his tournament to lose. After the break back in the second set, you got the sense that nothing was going to stop him. Well deserved win and title!
was this the first time they held this tournament? should keep it a mainstay, this whole tournament was nuts
西岡すげー！！
おめでとうございます！！
カッコ良すぎる！！
そして韓国の方達も祝福してくれて嬉しい😄
Me alegro mucho por Nishioka se lo merece espero que el tenis japones depegue por fin

Great match. Awesome tennis all around. Incredible defense from Nishioka.
Crowd was great and the match was amazing!
Wow,Nishioka really took the Asian land factor to a whole new level,what a match damn,he's Japan best player today by far,hope he can keep this level up.
Nishioka one of my favorites this year for sure!! What a phenomenal year, backing up the win in Washington!
Damn this is pretty epic ngl, and those sick transition bro. Keep it up!

Well, Michael Chang was that small and won the French Open : size does not matter when there's technique and will power.
Truly deserving. So happy for Nishioka!

amazing week from nishioka.....really well deserved. he earned it all week
I am Korean and I went to watch today just a few hours ago with my friend and I sneaked in to sit in the VIP seats :D
They both played some of the most incredible tennis I’ve ever seen
This is the Yoshi's Game!!!
I say again.Not only Nishikori,
NISHIOKA IS HERE!!!!
East Asia should have a grand slam or at least one more master. The East Asian market has an unbelievable passion for tennis.

Amazing, Nishioka’s belief and fitness has really gone next level! Congratulations! Did the commentator say Smacknificent?
Thanks to both Shapo and Nishioka for a remarkable match!!! All that energy and effort!!
For moments i thought i was watching a videogame… spectacular display of tennis.
