4K 60FPS Court level view of Kei Nishikori (Japan) practicing at the 2021 Australian Open!
Here he is practicing with Yuichi Sugita and we see Nishikori doing some on-court warmup exercises, groundstrokes, serves, returns and his coach feeds him some balls as he hits winners!
Kei Nishikori hits the ball incredibly well and here you can see his technique in more detail.
We can see how light on his feet he is especially when just warming up his groundstrokes.
Nishikori has fairly compact groundstrokes which makes him easily identifiable from the rest. You can see how his right elbow is close to his body on the forehand preparation and his left elbow is close to his body on his backhand preparation.
He prepares on his forehand with high left arm which helps to ensure he swings low to high as the left hand catches the racket above the opposite shoulder after the follow through.
0:00 - Warm up exercises
1:19 - Groundstrokes half court
2:05 - Groundstrokes full court
5:18 - Serves
6:50 - Returns
7:52 - Coach feeding balls
9:42 - Thanks for watching!

Terrific player in the wrong era. He could never really get over the Big 3 + Murray bump (or rather, mountain) - lifetime 9-47 record against the quartet. He reached the quarterfinals or better in 12 major events but lost 11 of those matches to a GS winner (only exception being Tsonga). Exceptional technique and movement but just not enough ooompf on his serve to bag easy points ... and a bit lacking in durability and physique to grind out deep in the second week of majors. He was Djokovic v0.75 and that's a hell of a compliment.

Kei has an amazing game. Backhand is one of the greatest of all time shots in tennis. His only weakness was his serve really. His very spinny forehand sometime didn’t hurt his opponent as much as it should have. But it is still a very good shot. If he had a stronger serve, for sure he will be top 10 top 5 player. His mental is one of the best ever and stamina/speed is one of the greatest also

I don't think the forehand is nearly good enough. He has the same technique problem that Kyrgios does.

I invented an exercise to develop reflexes at home. I bought a small rubber rugby ball. I stand up and throw it against the ceiling, which is not very high. The ball shot randomly and the bounce is unpredictable. the idea is that you can catch it after the rebound.

Not really, he was one of the Asians that reached top level in a sports where non-Asians dominate 99.99% of the time. So it puts him 1st in Asia's big market of Uniqlo.

Let´s be real here. He never had some incredible technique (other than his backhand) worth copying. His serve technique is weak compared to others in his ranking range. His FH has some increadible racquet head speed and spin, BUT it is extremely forced and requieres quite a lot energy to pull it of. Other aspect of his game are average. Oh, and he runs like an athlete. He had some major injuries over the years. Mainly because of his forced forehand. And now, he just doesn´t have the same stamina as he used to. Sad, but true...

@daxuesheng4123 3 жыл бұрын

He constructs each point well and plays smart. That is another great aspect of him. He is also good at net and slice shot. His slice is definetely better than Zverev, Medve, Ruvlev, Diego and... He is super talented.

What makes his FH forced and require a lot of energy? It looks fairly smooth to me.

@UnknownPerson200 3 жыл бұрын

Whats your point? His goal is to break the top 10. He's able to do that. However, he just came back from a huge hiatus. He's going to need match experience before he can (hopefully) return to normal.

@angejo5591 3 жыл бұрын

his forehand technique is so clean. and are you sure his injuries are due to the forehand technique or are you making that up like 99% of tennis couch viewers

@Rybargamer 3 жыл бұрын

@@drdickenbalz Well you can see that he changes his grip at the last second to compensate for that unconventional takeback. Also, during his actual swing, his racquet has almost 0 lag. This means, that he is tense through out the motion and that he forces racquet to stay in that position. It takes quite a lot of energy and upper body strenght to pull it off. Also, you can see that on almost every point he launches himself forward. This is also due to that tightness in his swing. If you compare it to some loose forehand with tons of racquet lag (Roger for example) you can clearly see that he doesn´t even need to move during his actual swing. TL;DR if you are tight, you will compensate it by upper body. With loose stroke you don´t need to do that cause the kinetic chain reaction in stroke. You simply let racquet motion do the job for you rather than your body.
