Welcome Back, Kei Nishikori: The Real Nishikori is ​Back

Welcome back,⁢ Kei Nishikori! The ⁢real Nishikori is back!

He participated in the Japan Open for the first ⁣time in six years as a recommended player and advanced to the top eight.⁢ I lost with a match point, but it was a few days of happiness and frustration as I witnessed Nishikori’s⁤ unique tennis.

A Surprising Comeback: ⁢Nishikori’s ​High-Quality Tennis

First of all, I would like to apologize to Nishikori. He was plagued by injuries and was out of the tour for a long time⁣ until⁤ this spring. I thought I would never be able to watch the⁤ Kei‍ Nishikori I knew play‌ tennis again. But what I saw this time was an‍ evolution.

His first opponent is Marin Cilic. This is the opponent I played in the US Open ⁤final‍ 10 years ago. Ariake’s center court​ was the scene of a deadly battle. ⁣What surprised me most in that match was the high‌ quality of Nishikori’s tennis. What particularly stood‍ out was the serve, which was originally considered​ a weak point. He himself was surprised by his performance, and although his average speed was 168km/h, which wasn’t fast, his placement was‌ outstanding. The final set ended with ⁤a set count of 1-1.⁤ It was a battle in which both players gave ‍their all, and⁤ Nishikori came out on ‌top. I couldn’t stop‌ crying. Well done for making a comeback and overcoming a tough match. However, he calmly stated that there were still points that ‌needed to be corrected.
