Without a doubt the best tennis of Kei's comeback so far! Some of those shots he made were just ridiculous and not the type of shots he has made in his recent games, the confidence is back and flowing
You can tell Kei had to deal with the big 3 throughout his career, he has so much control yet knows exactly when to pull the trigger, I am enjoying every highlight I watch from him since he returned
Nishikori was one if not mmy favorite player in 2013-2014, always to see him plays as or close to his back in the days level Amazing player, go for it Kei !!
Am I seeing things right?? That matchwas cracked and had some HIGH-level tennis! It wasn't even like Thompson was playing poorly. This man was getting every ball too!
Beating Thompson on a hard court in this fashion is actually a very respectful achievement. Nice to see Kei doing well in his home country. Although I'm gutted for Jordan,I wouldn't mind seeing Kei lifting the trophy
Let’s not forget Nishikori has one of the cleanest game on the tour. In terms of style and technical abilities I would put him right next to Federer with less power. But it’s just a joy to watch him play, flawless strokes, great intelligence of play, great court coverage. This guy is so good and has so much talent that even after getting back from tough injuries, he can still beat the best!
Style ? Naa hes Agassi nah, like agassi, barely 5'10/ 5'11, takes everything on the rise with flat clean ballstriking and intuitive use of angles, great return, okay serve, decent at net using swinging volleys more. great court coverage with quickness, but no elastic man slides. the closest to budget Djokovic is Nakashima. does everything Novak does, also 6'2, and has a very similar backhand and forehand in terms of shape and effectiveness. good platform serve like novak, attacks the lines like novak, and can also slide and cover the court using length.
@@Popovic75 I meant that his technique and moves are flawless. Watching him play feels like everything is natural and easy like Federer. Agassi way's of playing was bulldozer like. Absolutely soulless game's style, he was just hitting the ball as quick as possible. Agassi said he hated Tennis, and you see it from the way he used to play. I think there's 2 categories of players, there's the players, ball strikers, not particularly nice to watch, nonetheless very effective players like Rublev, agassi, medvedev,... and the other ones like Nalbandian, Federer, Dimitrov, Nishikori. Those guys are not only great but from the way they approach the ball, the way they move, they hit, + their game IQ, it feels really satisfying to watch them play because they have that little thing which makes Tennis more than just a sport but an art.
Amazing from Kei. Jordan is in really good form, so this means this was a GREAT match from Kei. Very impressive. I hope his form continues, and even grows from here. Would be good to have another big match player around.
So nice to see him - as a Japanese, if I have it right in my head - showing something like this to the home crowd! I haven't been in the tennis game for long, so I don't know him well, but I've seen his last two matches here on TennisTV - the man can do it and he's a class act!
It's a very impressive play from Kei and he found particularly some of his best game in this match against Thompson. He'll play Holger Rune in the coming quarter-final and it'll surely be an exciting match ! A very good test for him to see whether he can maintain his level ! 🎾💪😃"

What a joy. He's back and he's here to play. Let's go Kei.
Arguably some of Kei's best tennis in recent years against Thompson, who has been playing really well recently.
He and Cilic slapping the new folks is a great sight!
Love those two. Cilic, Kei and Del Potro were the best outside of Murray, Wawrinka and the big 3
@@Wilantonjakovferrer,tsonga,berdych
@@ramjeenakka586 well Cilic and Del Potro won grand slams, i rate them a little higher
Happy to see Nishikori play so well, seems like watching prime Nishikori back then❤
Nishikori was one if not mmy favorite player in 2013-2014, always to see him plays as or close to his back in the days level
Amazing player, go for it Kei !!
The warriors of that era have returned🎉I hope he will finish the convention in good health❤
shockingly good performance from kei
ここ最近の復帰時と違っていい頃の早くてアグレッシブな、見ていて楽しいテニスが戻ってる。
When Nishikori wins, Japan becomes brighter.
thnks
Japan's greatest athlete is still shining bright!
I am not even Japanese. I became brighter too ✨️
@@olivermccall9770 one of the greatest. Shohei Ohtani is the greatest Japanese athlete of all time
Kei's success brings me joy.
Loved seeing this friendly reminder to the gen next from papa Kei that he’s still very much in his element!
Am I seeing things right?? That matchwas cracked and had some HIGH-level tennis! It wasn't even like Thompson was playing poorly. This man was getting every ball too!
absolute joy to watch!
Kei has a lethal backhand, by far the best after Novak ❤
特にファーストセットは異次元の強さだった
he is number 1 in asia. good job
Very hard to beat Jordan these days.
Amazing shotmaking by Nish
Nishikori is a blessing for our sport! 🎾🙏
It's good to have Kei healthy and back on the tour! He looks incredibly fit. Keep going brother.
so happy to see K & Marin back on tour. Congrats for the W🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Nice to see Kei win again. Keep it up!
Amazing! Magnificent!!
I'm so happy to see Kei playing so strong again!!
Let's see his fantastic dance on the court!!✨️
フォアのショートクロスからのオープンコートへの処理、さすがっす！いつも新しくカッコイイテニス、だいすき！優勝ねがってます！
Beating Thompson on a hard court in this fashion is actually a very respectful achievement. Nice to see Kei doing well in his home country. Although I'm gutted for Jordan,I wouldn't mind seeing Kei lifting the trophy
Great to see, that backhand is top 5 of all time
Its a treat to watch him play
ジャックナイフ、ドロップショット、ロブの豪華三点盛り
You can win this whole thing Kei! Let's go!!
眩しすぎる圭くん、心配したリカバリーどころか、戦意喪失のトンプソンさんがそこにいました。止むことなく応援してきた私達にさらなる夢の続きを願っています。おめでとうございます🎉
解説で松岡修造さんが「スーパーゾーン錦織圭」って言ってて「2014〜2016年の試合ぶりにこの言葉を使うよ」って本当に調子が良すぎる！！第一セットの動きヤバすぎて第二の全盛期きてるわ🔥

We played really well at "home". I wish to have been at the court...I´m now visiting Tokyo.
LET'S GO KEI!!!🇯🇵💪💪🔥🔥
Amazing from Kei. Jordan is in really good form, so this means this was a GREAT match from Kei. Very impressive. I hope his form continues, and even grows from here. Would be good to have another big match player around.
really REALLY glad he's back!!!!!!!!!
Nishikori will win a title I am sure of it
やっぱり日本人としては別格だなぁ。
Great to see him and Grigor getting back up!
On Kei is SO BACK. LETS GOOOOO
Man! Kei is in prime form.
Congratulations again’KEI 🎾💪🎾you are amazing. Come on! For the champions 👍from 🇹🇭Thailand
Samurai Kei is back. I hope he becomes "Shogun" before he retires.

Это бывшая 4 ракетка мира, человек который мог дать сопротивление большой тройке. Он и Гаэль Монфис мои любимые игроки. Я всегда за них болею и верю.
Last week I said K N will be top 20 at the end of 2025
Today i say healthy KN will be top 10 at RG 2025
ビビるほど強いな、、
Man tennis has fallen off. Good to see the old top 10 show how it is REALLY done (obv I don’t include Alacaraz and sinner in this )
This is Kei.
Come back🔥
Kei jugo como hace 10 años lo hacia.... excelente 👌
ほんとバックハンド異次元
Kei is back! Missed seeing him play on the tour 🎉
名スポーツ選手あるあるの30代中頃に再び覚醒するを実行してる錦織さん。
フェデおじもにっこり
That's Kei with some extra sauce, looked dangerous
great to see him perform at this level after so long. of course good game to thompson. maybe the age of neo-kori?
let"s go Kei.
2017フェデラーみたいな理不尽さあって好き
Kei!!!! Yeah!
It's a very impressive play from Kei and he found particularly some of his best game in this match against Thompson. He'll play Holger Rune in the coming quarter-final and it'll surely be an exciting match ! A very good test for him to see whether he can maintain his level ! 🎾💪😃"
I first saw Japanese crowd erupts like this in a loooong time ✨
kei looks as solid as a rock
Kei more engaged and more committed than I have seen him for a LONG time
Jordan looks so surprised to lose. Like, how can you be doing this to me?
Kei vs Rune is going to be amazing match! I really hope Kei beats him and win it all! 🎉
I can only imagine how thompson was congratulated at the handshake since during the match he seemed shocked by nishikori's tennis
Well done Kei! 👍😍
2:31 beast forehand
Must be the home court advantage. Let's go Nishikori!
錦織！優勝して欲しい！
自分の子供に自分のかっこいい姿を見せられるのは「男のロマン」
今季調子の良いランク29位がお手上げとか、それTOP10選手がすることやで。
いくら怪我で休んでたとは言え200位とか詐欺やぞ。わりとマジで。
トンプソンがなんでこんな強いねんみたいな仕草してんのすき
思ったいい意味で呆れてた
Kei jugo como hace 10 años lo hacia
GAMBAREEEE NISHIKORI SAMAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!!!
He looks healthy. Maybe he can win the tournament.
NishiKey Is back in business
2:38 This is typical Nishikori lol.
3:15 - no. This is typical Nishikori
往年の錦織が帰ってきた！
Hope Nishikori makes it to a slam SF in 2025
When nishikori wins, he brings japans birth rate up
Hope he wins the whole thing!
Game Nissssssssikori.
Man that backhand! So happy he is back so we can witness it once more!
Kei blasting winners is a sight for sore eyes!
Just pucking stay healthy!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 go to the gym and be strong. What an awesome player he is ❤
Nishikori is so tough
oh man, missed this match. keis looking ominous
Thompson was completely overwhelmed by magnificent KEI's play that reminds us of one in his prime❤❤❤❤
Good
わーお…
Strong 💪How long was Nishikori away?
錦織と西岡の対戦まであと少し！
調子良いね～
錦織無双してた😊
Sempre achei key tem estilo do djokovic
