Kei is very promising and has a lot of potential. I think he can be # 1 player in world someday and win more Grand slams..
Kei Nishikori can be world #1

Kei Nishikori being number 1 may be the craziest thing i've ever heard on here.

Even most of us in the Kei N. thread wouldn't go nearly this far.

Schuttler has a better chance of becoming no 1 than Nishikori.

With Kei Nishikori you can rule the galaxy as father and son.
Side note: You've read it here first. Kei Noshikori is going to become the TTW's Chuck Norris.

searched for Donald Young quotes and went to first few threads with him. Found two really crazy ones (comparing him to Isner):

You just beat the almost epic "andy murray to win more slams this year?" thread of Jan 10.
I love your positive attitude. I think Davydenko and Tsonga can win more slams, too.

It would be awesome but I wouldn't count on it. Hes got Fognini, Davydenko then Verdasco. Seems like too much of a challenge to me.

All 3 guys you mentioned, Kei CAN beat. Fogninin no problem. Davydenko not in top form--definitely beatble for Kei. Verdasco has been making errors like he is pimping iron for Gil Reyes,,,,,Kei will take him in 5 sets.

Both Davydenko and Verdasco would be significant upsets. Fognini is basically a guy in the same situation as Nishikori -- a couple years older though and I think he's basically peaked. That match could go either way but it's the kind of match that Kei needs to win to move up.
Honestly I expect Kei to beat Fognini and lose to Davydenko -- if he gets past the second round it's a great AO for him. As far as Verdasco goes, I wouldn't be half surprised to see him lose right away to Tipsy.

He has already had a career ending injury, he just hasn't quit playing yet.

remind me how again? Last I checked, no one here was anti-oriental
plus, technically Asians have won slams if they were from the Asian part of Russia (I don't know if any were or weren't, but Russia considers itself Europe)
Indians are Asians :neutral:

I don't think Nishikori is Slam winner material, and he's my favorite young player. I think he can be at least Top 20, maybe Top 10, and the main thing he needs(and is getting) is match experience.
The biggest thing though is he needs to massively improve consistency and defensive capability on the forehand side, and continue improving his serve. When he wasn't busy talking to himself, whining to the ump or no-one in particular, or demonstrating in basically every way that he didn't care(the final game of the second set was just classic), Fognini exposed that fairly regularly.
Kei's backhand and movement around the court though? Things of beauty, things of beauty.
