The Japanese Hero Who "BAGELED" Prime Djokovic (6-0 INSANE Upset) 

Thank you for these highlights of a great match I didnt know about

Bravo Kei. The tenacity, the unrelenting drive to get to that ball, and the next, and the next. Kei is such a gifted athlete. I especially admire Kei's deportment on court. There is no showboating, no swagger. He just shows up for whatever is served to him. Kei plays to the ball. What a smart way to handle the opponent. I hope his injuries heal a 100% You deserve to play more Kei. Thanks a lot Wivo.

Kei was highly underrated internationally, while I heard that in Japan he was a national hero and had super high marketing presence etc.

Nishikori woke up and chose violence that day

錦織がジョコに勝てたのは全米準決勝だけだと思ってた。 今は西岡、ジョコに強いダニエル、綿貫、若手の望月、坂本と層が厚いが、錦織のテニスは観ていて面白く引き込まれるな

Kei has got talent! I hope he comes back from his injury soon! Thx for putting this up😊

Beating Tsitsipas was needed to finally appreciate how good Kei is, he had at some point the 2nd highest win% on clay, he's a beast

This guy is my fave player. He's got insane skill that's all I have to say.

omg Nishikori is such a treat to watch ,what a talent

And those two stellar players have combined for 24 slams between them. Just wow

I remember seeing Kei play live in the SAP open in 2008 vs. Andy Roddick. This was a bit after Nishikori beat Blake in Delray Beach. Was always a big fan of his game and I wish it wasn't hindered so much by injuries.

Bravo Kei, he was beating Roger hard in 2017 AO until Roger stepped up a gear.

Joker is a great player. He is basically a 2.0 version of Hewitt. Hewitt at a time dominated because of his style. Kept getting the ball back. Joker is better in most areas with height advantage and able to counter better. This is why he has so much success. On this day he played a guy who played a similar game with less errors. Whilst he is the most successful he's not the player most want to watch.

Bagel in Basel.

Great performance by Kei in this match.

Didn't even know about this match

Unglaublich! Tennis auf allerhöchstem Level. Großartiges Match von 2 Ausnahmeathleten! Allergrößter Respekt an beide Player!👏👏👏👍👍💥🎾

Kei is my hero. He inspire me so much.

Unfortunately for Kei, after he beat Djokovic in USO, Novak started paying more close attention to Nishikori, and I lost count how many times in a row Djokovic beat him after that. The same goes for Wawrinka, for about a decade he could not win a match vs.Djokovic, Monfils is still 0-18, and Canadian players beat Djokovic once, and that was an exhibition ( Felix). Djokovic going against Berdych 25-2 is never mentioned, and one of those loses was at Wimbledon, when Djokovic had to surrender the match because of injury. Berdych could not believe his good luck, the next match he wore ND Adidas Barricade sneakers to honor Djokovic.

Kei was always full of surprises

Watching this, Kei Nishikori truly deserves to be called Amazing K.

Most underrated players ever?? Stop!!!

Great match, never knew anyone bageled Djokovic. Thanks

Soundly beaten. Well done Nishikori!

Cool, I am not surprised. Kei Nishikori has magic hands and he is one of the most brilliant tennis players that has ever existed. Roger Federer said that Kei was very talented. What year did this Djokovic vs Nishikori match take place?

Wow I can’t believe he got bodied that hard. He usually plays better later in matches not worse.

Kei is my favorite player!

Surprised this comment section isnt full of toxic djoker fanboys how refreshing

The wish all tennis matches gave us the players level view of the match.

Kei was always a player that I respected a lot, and even I have the raquet (and still use it) that he is holding in the thumbnail, the one that he beat Novak too on the USO 2014 semis

These videos are awesome. Adds in a little context in the beginning and then let's the clip speak for itself. Perfection

Nishikori was a top player - but judging from these highlights he was very lucky not to loose in straight sets . Certainly most games looked close in the final set too - He showed grit thats for sure

He "beat" Fed *four* times, not five. 2-0 in Bof3s, 2-1* in Bof5 (by virtue of the greatest luck ever involved in having a 3-slam season).

I remember this match quite well. Kei did play well in this match, but Djokovic had some issue with his shoulder. It became apparent somewhere in the second set. Not only did he lose this match, he went on to lose 2/3 group stage matches to Ferrer and Tipsarvic in ATP World Tour Finals that year.

Whoever forgot to tell this guy he wasn't supposed to to win must have gotten into big trouble

Michael Chang, is that you?

You could imagine my surprise when this video didn’t have 100k likes

Yosuke Watanuki might be the next Nishikori I hope.

Bagel with cream cheese😂

If he’s 3-4 inches taller, he would have lifted more trophies

incredible talent! i think he's up there with Fognini. this is the proof prime Djokovic could get destroyed(bagel) by anyone

tbf though young novak was a quitter and everyone knew it.

Whenever Novak knows he’s about to lose he always makes an obvious attempt to make it look like he isn’t trying anymore. Which really undermines the opponent and is disrespectful in my opinion. Another bad example is against karlovic in Doha. It’s almost saying the only reason I lost is because I wasn’t trying. Roger and Rafa would NEVER do that. This has similarities to his history especially when younger of medical timeouts and withdrawals that never sat well with a lot of people

錦織をいじるのはやめろ😢

As a Djokovic fan this was incredible. I thought this was in 2017 during surgery, but no... 2011 so congrats. Let me remind you that H2H is 18-2 in favour of Djokovic. :D

A younger nick Lester commentating, sounds even worse and more annoying than he does now.

he lost it during the tie breaker ... well done Kei !

You hates djokovic

Novak got injured at that time, but Nishikori was always injured through his career.

all breaks on unforced erorrs ...

easy last part of 2011 djokovic recovery form an injury after davis cup match against del potro, he loses majority of matches and not win any title. Sure you ignore that fact, he lose to ferrer, tipsarevic, nishikori and he retires of 2011 paris masters by an injury shoulder, he did not play quarters.

Nishikori has grown in toughness and mental strength. But for now, it's just a source of rehabilitation for Djoko. Why is he still active and able to maintain his number one position?

Sonego said hi😅

No MT, No TB, No RS - yah Novak could really lose!

En que torneo se llevó a cabo ese partido .......?

But you dont say that novak was injured

Was Djokovic injured?

was it not a double bounce at 8:30?

Novak had issues with leg at the time. Prime…ok

1st few seconds is the exact reason I hate ND.you would never see roger celebrating like that, man has too much class to do it. ND would have to live twice to have his greatness

Djokovic might’ve wanted to get and early flight out. Either way, he gave this one away.

Good

Novak was injured here. Nut fedals are too deluded to even see it. Only nadal gets away with the injured card 😂😂

no doba djoko

??? Kei a serious "upset" for Djokovic??? Seriously?????? :)

Nole lo hizo feliz

w content,

for algorithm

Nishikori sucks. He could never get the job done. When he was at his peak and expected to beat Federer at the Australian Open, he fell short in 5 sets. Even if he had beaten Federer, he wouldn't have won a slam. When we beat Novak and faced Cilic, he was swept. Great player, but not top tier. Just lacked the consistency and had a weak body.

😅😅

Novak was tired....

This match was extremely difficult for Novak. Dealing with his shoulder issues, he likely wanted to finish the match quickly and doninated the first set, which even the commentator described as "one-way traffic." Kei displayed brilliant shots and movements, though inconsistent, prolonging the match and Novak probably gave up in the final set, thinking ahead to the rest of the season. It was still a great achievement for Kei, which gave him lots of confidence to rise to top 10 player.

I'm gonna be real tho. To me, Djokovic didn't seem to care that much throughout this match. Idk maybe its his body language.

Title should be changed as: "Japanese star makes light work of a fatigued Djokovic who won 10 out of 12 tournaments entering the Basel indoor tournament in 2011"

It isn't totall wrong to say Novak Djoker is still in his prime, while he did lose one AO round finally

Wait who is this guy? Oh right, i didn't hear about him until today.

novak was injured

Nishikori was more prime than Djok in this match. Djok looked tired.

Esse japonês me lembra o Fogini, jogando. 😅😅

STOPPPPPP IT STOP TELLING US ONE THING IN THE TITLE AND IT NOT EVENNHAPPENING

"BAGELED" ?!

Kei "NishiCURRY"

Nishikori is not "one of the most underrated players ever". Everyone knows he was very talented, but tennis is a results game and talent alone is not enough. He had an excellent career with a career high of 4th, but no grand slam title and only ever made it into one single grand slam final. Not even any semi-finals - his maximum at all grand slams except the US Open was the quarterfinal. He was not underrated - he was correctly rated.

ダニエル太郎と鈴木貴男のジョコへの勝利は体調不良と超若い頃よ？😅

Do people just love having a go a Novak ?😂 beats him once with a fluke and he’s this and that😂 calm down he’s done nothing in his career. It’s just called a “bad day at the office” roger has had them Rafa has had them and so on. 😂 not a big deal.

0:05 look at face of Federer after losing . Jealousy , despise , didn't even look at Novak when shaking hand . Check Novak handshake after losing 6:0 . Roger is such a class 🐑🐑🐑

俺は未だにこの試合ジョコビッチわざと負けたんじゃ無いかと思ってる。

This video should not be called "Bageled prime Djokovic" because Nishikori only did it once.. The title would only be right if Nishikori beat prime Djokovic many times or at least 3 times... This video's title did no justice for Djokovic..

Wow!! I didn't know this bagel though I'm Japanese.🥯 So sweet.😋
