Kei Nishikori Rolls Back The Years vs Jordan Thompson! | Tokyo 2024

absolute joy to watch!

let"s go Kei.

Idiot noob stop playing tennis kei fker

Too bad he didn't win the USO when he had a chance before injuries hit and he got older.

He looks healthy. Maybe he can win the tournament.

I first saw Japanese crowd erupts like this in a loooong time ✨

Great to see him and Grigor getting back up!

元４位ですからああああ😅

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！

錦織に闘気がみなぎってきた！
最近の錦織は勝ちたいという気持ちが表情にもでてるし、勝ちに飢えてる感じがする！

Nishikori is a blessing for our sport! 🎾🙏

なんとなくだけど、引退するのかな、、、

Sempre achei key tem estilo do djokovic

Man! Kei is in prime form.

great to see him perform at this level after so long. of course good game to thompson. maybe the age of neo-kori?

Samurai Kei is back. I hope he becomes "Shogun" before he retires.

You can win this whole thing Kei! Let's go!!

kei looks as solid as a rock

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!

Kei blasting winners is a sight for sore eyes!

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 can only imagine how thompson was congratulated at the handshake since during the match he seemed shocked by nishikori's tennis

Must be the home court advantage. Let's go Nishikori!

ジャックナイフ、ドロップショット、ロブの豪華三点盛り

髪切った？

Kei more engaged and more committed than I have seen him for a LONG time

2017フェデラーみたいな理不尽さあって好き

This is Kei.
Come back🔥

Man that backhand! So happy he is back so we can witness it once more!

錦織無双してた😊

Nishikori is so tough

ほんとバックハンド異次元

la imagen se ve mal ...entrecortada.

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。

Hope Nishikori makes it to a slam SF in 2025

Dont forget that this is a man who can beat Federer

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。

やっぱり日本ナンバー１は西岡では無く世界の錦織選手ですな～、ゲームスタイル、パフォーマンス、パーソナリティ、礼儀正しさ、どれをとってもトップクラスです。

We played really well at "home". I wish to have been at the court...I´m now visiting Tokyo.

Its a treat to watch him play

Kei jugo como hace 10 años lo hacia.... excelente 👌

When nishikori wins, he brings japans birth rate up

Just pucking stay healthy!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 go to the gym and be strong. What an awesome player he is ❤

really REALLY glad he's back!!!!!!!!!

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🎉

GAMBAREEEE NISHIKORI SAMAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!!!

とても残念でした。
日本の観客、インタビュアーの錦織選手と西岡選手の扱いの違いがあからさますぎて、錦織ブランドにすがってる悲しい国だなと思いました。
特に松岡修造がひどくて、第一試合のオンコートインタビューが終わって、まだ帰る支度をしてる時に錦織選手の話をはじめて、他の選手への配慮が無さすぎました。
西岡選手の試合前にも錦織選手の話ばかりで、西岡選手には触れず贔屓が顕著に表れてました。
非常に残念な大会です。
