Because Monaco wins Clay Titles...those obscure ones. Where it all grind between ranking under top 20. Yes Monaco won a Hard Court title last week....that was with a weak draw.

Nishikori loves the fast surfaces where his ball can get pace where his short build lacks. Tokyo is medium fast surface that suits him.

ATP video....has an awesome point with Nishikori vs Berdych match. That point is the best of the tournament....Nishikori was Rafalike there.

Nishkori will be top ten one and he is as overrated as Milosh. Yet more talented than the other young guys.

I would take Kei over Ryan, Tomic, Sock, Milosh, Dolgopolov and Berankis.

I don't think it's any of those. The Japanese equivalent of come on, vamos, and allez is yossha.

Yoshi is another alternative. There was a thief who shouts yossha after stealing a car. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTbh4NOlQRQ

I also heard a Japanese player shout yossha and yoshi before as well. I would need to watch Japanese tennis videos on you youtube again to make sure because it has been a while since I watched a Japanese tennis match.

Shaa might be another alternative as well. I think I heard that in Prince Of Tennis.


Are you a native speaker or a N1, N2, or N3 level (Japanese Language Proficency Test)?

Like, ohmigod, totally dude!! And it's a real shame that other short guys like Connors, Borg and Agassi never went anywhere because of their height.

And you know who else was too short for a tennis player? Some nobody named Laver.

Nope. I wish though. I just happen to know a couple of Japanese guys. They grew up here but still speak and write in their native tongue.

Who cares how tall or short you are? His power is ridiculous.

Agassi won slams fairly recently.

True, tennis is as much or more about court coverage shot placement and mental toughness as it is about height and power... Besides there are things short guys can do to get similar results to power like hugging the baseline and taking the ball on the rise.

Agassi was the best possibly ever at this, and Davadynko(sp) was also awesome at this its just a shame he fell apart in the big moments against Federer so many times

Very impressive tourney for him

Nah Ledwix is right. I've watched a few japanese series so I'm quite sure. And:

EDIT: But I think Yossha is also correct

haha, probably don't want to yell yossha out when trying to urge someone on after they get aced/lose a point... it's like to saying "nice job" after someone trips when they're walking lol Yossha & yoshi in the context of games mean "good" or "skillful", and it's used when someone does something well.
