Kei is a great athlete & underrated. This match is a great one to watch. Roger lost but you can see that he relished the challenge that Kei brought to this match. Thanks for giving us another look at this game. Great match.
Nishikori is easily one of the best players who should've won at least a slam. He deserved the 2014 US open title just as much as Cilic, if not more. Federer was fatigued in his match against Cilic at the 2014 US open semifinal after a gruelling five-set win against Monfils, although Cilic was playing some of his best tennis in his life. Nishikori battled against an in-form Djokovic who didn't have the best American hard court swing prior to the US open in 2014 but still outclassed everyone in that tournament. To think that the defending champion Cilic got literally owned by Djokovic in the semifinal of the US open 2015, Nishikori should've won the 2014 US open final. Nishikori is like the better version of Michael Chang his own coach, although maybe in terms of pure speed Chang wins by a small margin.
If nishikori had a strong first serve, he could have given tough fights to the top players in grand slams...he is very exciting to watch who always takes the ball early..reminds me of davydenko
Except he's even more talented than Davydenko. Both are similar in that they could hit the ball early, but Nishikori put more spin and had more variety. I wish he had a strong serve, but it's actually pretty decent for his physique and the speed of the serve. His placement is pretty good. His slice serve is decent I think
This was Kei's 2nd consecutive victory over Federer after Madrid in 2013 and took a 2-1 H2H lead at this time. More crazily, he came off a 3+ hour thriller against Ferrer in a 11-9 3rd set tiebreaker in the previous round, saving match points. And then a recovery in less than 24 hours, coming back here from behind against Federer again. Insane. Too bad he was physically toast after that and couldn't take the court against Djokovic in the semis.
Kei would have won at least two or three grand slams if he were a few more inches taller and had a slightly more effective serve. Without a single grand slam, he's still one of the most talented tho
Nishikori came from the bolettieri academy, same as andre agassi thats why the short swing and taking the ball early, though agassi hits cleaner, both are fun to watch cause of that
There's actually another anime that really personifies Kei Nishikori specifically in one of the characters, basically taking young Kei in anime form (the anime is called Baby Steps, LMAO, no joke, btw.)
@@blaster36000 i know the anime, read the manga too but Kei resemble not really just echizen but mostly all the quirks and skill from PoT. Lol. He finished Roger here with a "Jack Knife"
@@blaster36000 Bruh I should check it out, Prince of Tennis sucked after the national tournament honestly 😂🤣 I heard they started to make newly themed recaps of the old matches like Ryoma vs Tezuka, Fuji vs Kirihara, etc. That's a really good move. Naruto can learn a thing or two from that, they could've focused on making prequels to hidden leaf ninjas but came up with trash Boruto 🤦♂
@@mikoobear Nishikori resembles Echizen with the way they dress similarly, the hat. And yeah the Jack Knife was Momoshiro and Sengoku's weapons, Momoshiro and Kaido are some of my favorite players lol
The goal of tennis for 20 years was to to beat Federer or beat his record's No one else ever will be like him. Well done to all who played against the most amazing fun and stylish player to ever play such a long career. Novak and nadal just happened to have a model to push them further Both Nadal and novak if they lived in the 80's or 90's may have retired with 10 slams or 12 but with federer leading the way with 14 slams up already they had to set their heights high
For a vod with this title... it seems like there are more Federer winning highlight points than NIsihkori. Also... was @18:33 clip really necessary? DIdn't even show second serve for point.
Sure! Whoever reaches 6 first wins the set. But he has to reach it with a 2 game difference. 6-4 for example. If they tie 5-5 it has to end at 7-5 with a 2 game difference. But it they tie 6-6, they play a tie break. Whoever reaches 7 points first wins. But it also has to be with a 2 points difference. Hope that clarifies my friend
Your title isn't just insulting Federer but with no respect for Nishikori at the same time. Could have made some fans dislike him (Nishikori) for no reason. I've found this's not the appropriate way for whatever the reason is. (my viewpoint, w respect.)
Michael Chang was born in New Jersey. Sorry, but the rest of the world considers people from Asia to be Asians, not just whether you "look pretty Asian" or had Asian ancestry.
Love to see the WivoRN nishikori love

Keep coping and eat your b chicken vijay
Just a far left and far right serve is enough to win against anyone
The humbleness of Nishi after delivering each superb shot was amazing!
小柄な錦織選手が世界の大柄の選手相手に引き出しの多さ、ライジングの高速テニスでBIG4相手にも真っ向からぶつかった姿、特に2016の全米のQFはまじしびれました。
If you can make the QF of all Slams & make 500/Masters Finals on all surfaces, you are Legendary :D
One of the greatest players to never win a GS.
Tsonga too
Amazing tennis!! Miss these years so much.
Kei Nishikori Japanese Tennis hero always rooting for you
He was a very good and watchable player. Excellent ball-striking, great agility, good touch for finer shots as well as ability to improvise.
Rodger at his prime vs Kei at this early stages of his career! What a game by both men! Real arm wrestle!!!
More Nishikori!!
Say no more! Give me less than 60 minutes buddy

Man, Nishikori was so good over here! he played really fast, attacking tennis and took the attack back to Roger.
Nishikori´s victory in the Olympics over Nadal was brilliant!.
after losing set 2 from 2-5 ( 2 breaks ) he take shower over 10 minutes :) until now i dont know how tf umpire allow it

Calm down, Nadal takes a hour to hit a service.
We call him Ryoma Echizen
まだまだだね
The prince indeed
He deserves masters title at least. He met Novak on hard and Rafa on clay in masters final.
The old Miami venue was so much better
I hate the new Miami venue they moved to starting in 2019. It feels like a baseball stadium, the Hard Rock Cafe theme is just hilariously weird.
Its the worst tournament now. Used to be one the best . Dumb
Truly Great player Nishikori… 🎉
Nishikori one of the few players to beat the top 4.
In 10:08 RF Challenge - and He was absolutely right 😮
Try to see The Ball In slow motion ❤
Nishikori shows how to overcome physical disadvantages with agility
what do you mean physical disadvantage? Talking like a he is a handicaped person
Kei would have won at least two or three grand slams if he were a few more inches taller and had a slightly more effective serve. Without a single grand slam, he's still one of the most talented tho
この頃の目が覚めるようなストロークまじで最強

Man , Nishi is like Nalbandian , very compact swings , takes the ball very early & time away from Roger , great match 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nishikori con el respeto que se merece barrió con Federer. La humildad contra la arrogancia.
Ryoma vs Tezuka 💪🏻

backhand like michael change, low, grounded
Guy looks like asian Tiger Woods
きちんと打てばボールは狙ったところに落ちる。
狙ってコントロールするというより、そうなることが当たり前かのようなプレー。
こんなテニスは錦織でないとできない。
すごい的確に言い表してると思います。この二人のテニスは力感と脱力の連続というか、本当に比類のないテニスをしている。似た者同士お互い下がらず早いテンポでワイドに試合が展開するし、その結果としてウィナーになるべき球がちゃんとウィナーになるのも個人的に好きです。

にほんじn です 🎾🔥
Nishikori is not underrated he was world number four at one point.
So sad he lost in the finals 😭
who still heard niki chicorée in 2024? who still hear of rger? that's the diference!
pudo superarlo en velocidad, pudo haberlo igualado en disciplina pero no tiene su agilidad mental Roger GOAT
They still glaze Federer
Can someone please explain Tennis scoring to me? why is the first set played to 6, but the second set played to 7?
Sure! Whoever reaches 6 first wins the set. But he has to reach it with a 2 game difference. 6-4 for example.
If they tie 5-5 it has to end at 7-5 with a 2 game difference.
But it they tie 6-6, they play a tie break. Whoever reaches 7 points first wins. But it also has to be with a 2 points difference.
Hope that clarifies my friend
Compared to 06-07, Federers forehand was nowhere anymore. Got better overall to compensate but his major weapon was gone.
Where is he today?
Injured
Это было в 2014г в 1/4 финала, после этого поражения Федерер выиграл 6 последующих встреч с Нишикорри, видимо разозлился и мстил 😂
まだ引退してないよ
He kept getting injured, his body couldn't hold up to the demands of elite level tennis unfortunately.
Why do you _NEVER_ state the day and location of these matches in your video description??? Frustrating.
It's always mentioned in the first 30 seconds of the video, buddy.
Big four? I thought it was the big three.
Big3 came after 2018.
Big 4 includes Andy Murray
And it was then n there Federer decided to sign for uniqlo
Kei always got smoked by Nadal
ROGER HAS BEEN OLD ...HE 'S NOT STRONG BEFORE...
Handsome ❤
May be once in a life time dats all😂..
4? The 4th isn't so "big" 🤣

"There's always an asian better than you"
Michael Chang doesnt count as an asian? Also Leander Adrian Paes has won multiple doubles grand slams... He is pretty asian as well...

@@jaeknnationally Chang is American but ethnically he’s Asian
He is good but he looks incompetent in most of his plays against federer especially the basics serves and rallies
Come on, just a few wins…honestly where is he now? There’s no sustainability.. stop being proud like his wins are big deal…
錦織はもう落ち目です。
