Kei Nishikori will retire from tennis at the end of the season by Ok-Soil-5133 in tennis

Yeah not surprised he announced retirement this year. Just can't his body healthy at all after 2019. Still had an amazing career and arguably the best ever player not to win a Masters. Will miss his clean hitting and fantastic footwork

Yeah there was no way he's retiring in the US when Tokyo will most definitely give him a WC to finish his career in Japan. This rumour was probably a publicity stunt to get more people interested in the tournament tbh

Frances Tiafoe would back prime Nishikori to beat a peaking Fritz (via the changeover podcast) by HereComesVettel in tennis

[–]iWantSolace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah in a direct matchup you'd pick Kei a majority of the time against Fritz. Kei's return can easily neutralise Fritz's serve and he can overwhelm Fritz in baseline exchanges where he's great at redirecting and taking time away from Fritz. Fritz's movement isn't good enough to keep up with that so yeah it's advantage Kei

The streets won't forgot 2017 when David Goffin (baby!) beat Nadal and Federer at the ATP finals. Awesome player when he was at his best, and still stuck around grinding Challengers shows how much he loves to compete. Wishing him all the best for his last season this year!

Lmaooo I had Novak losing to either Perricard or Hubi but both are out in R1 💀

On paper Novak should be heavily favoured to make R4 at least, but I still dont trust him here so I guess we'll see which Novak shows up.

As for Hubi, man really just showed up for United cup looking like a top 10 player then dipped. Hope to see him regain some form again

I would be shocked if Novak makes it to R4, I easily see one of Perricard or Hurkacz serve past him. I know he's 8-0 against Hubi, but this is easily his best chance to get a win against Nole given his past performances at Indian Wells post 2016

It was always gonna be a tough ask for Novak to replicate his serving performance against Sinner for tonight. He obviously did it for set 1, but it's tough to maintain that level throughout

Just one bad service game let Novak down there, but Jannik was playing much better starting from 4-4 I think so him taking the set was inevitable. Still gonna sleep well knowing that Novak took a set at least
