Playing Style
Nishikori is well known for his speed and endurance during long matches. He uses a semi-western grip on his forehand and a combination of continental/semi-western for his backhand. His groundstrokes are equally solid with great depth. His serve is reliable but lacks power at times. Similar to David Ferrer and Guillermo Coria, he lacks a big weapon. However, like his two predecessors, a consistent serve and solid groundstrokes means he doesn't have any weakness either. His game is described as an offensive baseliner.
