Isner's backhand picked up out of nowhere in that match. He hit some bullet-like backhands in the second set, which he is not really known for. Good stuff from the big man!
I was at this game, and the sportsmanship between these two is amazing. They are two really talented tennis players, and Nakashima has much more trophies to come. Congratulations to John Isner.
Definitely adding Nakashima to my list of players to watch. He's still got a ways to go, but showing this much potential at 19 he, along with Korda, could have a legitimate chance of breaking into the top tier if his game continues to progress. Hopefully he can manage to get over that hump in a way that Fritz and Tiafoe haven't been able to, because tennis (at least to US fans) becomes a lot more exciting when there's one or more US players with a legitimate shot to win the big tournaments.
Agreed. Fritz, Tiafoe, Opelka, Paul are all extremely talented but unfortunately complacent. None of them have any fire and drive to compete against the top players on the biggest stages the same way Isner or Roddick did. That’s why Korda and Nak are very promising because aside from the great tennis they seem more driven to win
@@caliscribe2120 That's sort of like saying Serbia's men as a group have been the best in the world... but yes, I was referring to the men. And that proves my point, because I'm willing to bet that more Americans know who Serena is than Djokovic. Any truly international sports, having an American (especially a charismatic one) at or near the top drives interest and actually gets the sport mentioned through constant barrage of NBA and NFL garbage.
Nakashima has a very solid game. Strong off both wings on the baseline which frustrates his opponents since they don’t know which side to target. Has a solid serve, return, increasing confidence with each win, and plays with good tactics. Movement can be worked on but with an optimum height at 6’1 and still growing, this kid has a lot of potential.
@@John-nk3ej he’s playing with a lot of confidence. And for a young guy like him, that’s only going to fuel that fire. He probably relishes playing on the big stages now
Who is making these highlights and keeps making mistakes on the editing? This video, the semifinal one and the kitzbuhel finals ones all contained out of order points or repeated points. Come on guys
Ya, that was some great editing. Felt like I basically watched the Match. Brandon had him but Isner didn't blink Never seen him play so hungry. Backhand looked solid!
@@monstermichaeltoad5705 yh even in USO 2015, when Fed was playing some good tennis, hefaced Isner. in the 4thround,and. won 7-6 7-6 7-5, a very tight match.
I predicted that back in their juniors, Nakashima, Korda, Jenson Brooksby, Martin Damm, and Govind Nanda would go big one day. Nakashima has a very strong backhand and fixed his forehand and has now made 2 ATP finals in 2 tournaments back-to-back. Top 100 incoming.
Thanks for NOT having the winner on the thumbnail for a change. A great improvement. The element of surprise is thus intact for those of us who watch these videos without knowing the result in advance.
Losing back to back finals hurts but nakashima is future star of America along side Korda. He also maybe one of the rare Americans who are not servbots.
Gotta feel for Nakashima , 20 yrs old , outside top 100 , losing 2 finals in 2 weeks must be really heartbreaking. But definitely he would have gained a lot from these tournaments too..
Nakashima has a promising future. Glad that Isner pulled this off. Not bad for a 36 year old. 16 single titles. He’s had a great career but I think his moment was when he won the Miami Open against Zverev.
Great match here...just wondering if anyone knows why John has difficulty chasing balls down, or chooses not to? Could be his age, or it could be his size, though Medvedev among others is big and quick...
Nakashima can produce great shots, but lately his game has shown some gaps. First, it's too predictable. Second, he's too afraid to approach the net. Third, he needs to incorporate drop shots. That's why he appears to be working really hard on the court, but smart.
Lots of respect for Big John, still out there competing and winning at 36.
he moved SO well with his height!!
Karlovic played till 40. These guys only need to serve and need one extra point in tiebreak, that's it.
@@viratbaivab2990 that's tennis 😂
@@viratbaivab2990 So does everyone.
@@armstrongtixid6873 Not everyone relies only on serve.

He's been firing some bullets all week
He has improved his backhand a lot. You can see him hitting winners from that side pretty often.
Wow the way Brandon saved those match points was 🔥

His temperament definitely looks better compared to fritz, tiafoe
Maybe it's in his genes, but surely will see a lot of him in the future
I'm sure you were referring to US men, because our women as a group have been the best in the world.

and hes got the mental game to climb out of 0-40 match points in a championship final
looking forward to see where he goes
he's a though kid!
@@John-nk3ej he’s playing with a lot of confidence. And for a young guy like him, that’s only going to fuel that fire. He probably relishes playing on the big stages now
Well.....Nakashima is bound to win a title soon with the level of tennis he's playing.......but for the mean time well done Isner!!!
Good to see Isner winning stuff again, really warms my heart for some reason

Lovly guy john isner is. Has followed him on The tour for many years. Nice to see him still winning titles in his age.
Is it sad that the Atlanta Open has longer highlights than all of the grand slams highlight videos?
cause its tennis tv instead of the grand slam's yt channel
GS has pretty tough contracts with Broadcasters
@@aplitechopiniao956 yeah that’s probably it
It is but compared to other depressing matters tis but a scratch
Ya, that was some great editing. Felt like I basically watched the Match. Brandon had him but Isner didn't blink
Never seen him play so hungry. Backhand looked solid!
The highlights of the second set, Nakashima serving at 4-5 are a mess. Points are out of order.
No, they traveled back in time to play those point in reverse order. It was by design
Edited by Nolan
Nakashima four match points saved were crazy. Great final 👍🏿
Isner has been really impressing me with his return of serve this tournament. Hope he continues to press his opponents with it.
Well I doubted him, put Norrie as favourite. Played well all week. Well done big man.
John has always been lethal in US hardcourt season
@@monstermichaeltoad5705 yh even in USO 2015, when Fed was playing some good tennis, hefaced Isner. in the 4thround,and. won 7-6 7-6 7-5, a very tight match.
Love Nakashima's clean striking and technique. One of the cleanest double handed bhs and the white pure strike really enhances it.
serves still unstoppable
Happy for John Isner. He's a good bloke.
Nakashima has incredible volleys.
congrats to John Isner for making istory 6 title for the amazing Isner nice match he deserve the win and celebration
nakashima most underrated next gen player
Yeah man

Idk about nanda
ur stinky
@@TheBajanCanadiansOtherAccount lol what? 😎👍
surely you mean Martin Damm juniour? :)
number 89 alrdy after these back to back finals
Two finals in a raw for nakashima, thats impressive he has a great future ahead of him
It’s great to see Isner in this form-reminds me of the fight he had back with Mahut in the longest wimby match in history
Glad to see an old man still going strong. Congrats, Isner!
Congratulations, John 👏🏽🎉🥳
Best wishes for USO ahead 👍🏽
Jonh Isner: King of tiebreak.
Sneaky tennistv. I thought Brandon won bc you had him for thumbnail hahaha
I know, right? Especially, after Brandon saved so many match points, and the video clip was far from over...
why not put both players on thumbnail?
@@2soulss , then the guy wouldn't know how to mess with us.
Los Cabos revenge against Nakashima ...we're going to see many more of this young man in Nakashima, but for now well played Isner
Isner doesn't look like he is 37 ! Jesus christ tennis preserves
Nakashima and Korda have actually inspired hope for US tennis. Been a fan of Korda since Delray and this starts my belief in Nakashima as well.
Great summer hard court wing so far for Brandon, love watching his game. Reminds me of a hybrid between nishikori and tipsarevic
Thanks for NOT having the winner on the thumbnail for a change. A great improvement. The element of surprise is thus intact for those of us who watch these videos without knowing the result in advance.
For sure 👍
I love Nakashima’s backhand reminds me of Koepfers but I prefer nakashimas
Not Koepfer, it's Norrie
And that John Isner was champion here in 2018
Good job Isner..
Congratulations..
Losing back to back finals hurts but nakashima is future star of America along side Korda. He also maybe one of the rare Americans who are not servbots.
Fr
I know of only 2 American who are serve bots.
@@ViaticalTree literally every American is a servebot
@@JP3DaGoat Lol. You think Isner and Opelka are the only American pro tennis players? 🤦♂️
@@JP3DaGoat Fritz, Johnson, Sock, Tiafoe, Paul, Kudla are all not servebots. Dumbass lol
Congrats Isner 👏👏👏
Nakashima should have been at the Olympics!! He is now totally on my radar ! My kind of player ! Nakashima is quite a beast !!! Uuugh !!
Gotta feel for Nakashima , 20 yrs old , outside top 100 , losing 2 finals in 2 weeks must be really heartbreaking. But definitely he would have gained a lot from these tournaments too..
n he beated John last time 🥲
Nakashima has a promising future. Glad that Isner pulled this off. Not bad for a 36 year old. 16 single titles. He’s had a great career but I think his moment was when he won the Miami Open against Zverev.
Nakashima such a prospect
Congrats John u score big again. Keep it up
Nakashima looks promising! He has a solid game and was able to hang with Isner
Very innovative of the organisers to give a flower vase as a trophy 😂😂
Que gran jugador john lsner,felicidades john!😊
Congratulations, John Isner!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏... Great match!!!
Nakashima terá um futuro brilhante nesse esporte... muito bom jogador!!!
6 with the most beautiful smile in the end; Isner's record would be one hardest to break!
Gay
Why is the recording quality so poor? Can't they afford high def cameras in Atlanta?
A gold medal between both player who was outside top 30 in ATP Standing
Big john🤩
The Atlanta GOAT does it again!
This man was born during an tiebreak
6:11, poor ball kid. Doesn't even try to catch it anymore...
the score board is jacked tf up
What’s with that train wreck of championship points editing? Please just show them in chronological order….
Nakashima lookin like a comic book supervillain in the thumbnail.
Good match. Nakashima is on the rise though.
Congratulations, John!!!
4:47 i love when you guys edit the points in the wrong order
Nice to see Isner win another title in Atlanta
Isner cant win a match without a tie-break 😂
Well that was a rollercoaster, editing wise….
missed opportunity to send Brandon Nakashima to the Olympics
The game which I dreamt to play.
He won 6 atlanta titles. Out of his 16 titles. He must love this court conditions
Good for John!
Let’s go John!!
What 36 I mean John looks younger than Opelka...o.0?!
What a match!
i thought it's a table tennis racquet when Isner is holding... the video's editing was nolanish
Great match here...just wondering if anyone knows why John has difficulty chasing balls down, or chooses not to? Could be his age, or it could be his size, though Medvedev among others is big and quick...
He’d rather save his energy for bigger points and even then it’s just age and him not wanting to hurt himself
nakashima about to follow FAA's footsteps.
Great John!!!
That's a nice vase that he won.
Isner should just start with tiebreakers
John "7-6" Isner
seeesh let's go big guy, win a slam for us next
2nd set 5-4, editing more complicated than Tenet
There are some mistakes at 5-4 in the second set.
Damn that's a Hollywood thumbnail right there
damn isner is already 37???
36
Isner movement reminds me of Lindsay Davenport
Wtf was that editing at 5-4 in the second LOL
Who's making these videos, points order are shocking, do you not review the videos before uploading??
who has been in more tie breaks than isner?
Well done No.6
nakashima played well....also does anyone else think he's got a big head for his torso lmao
조밥들 잘하네 우린 선우님밖에 없는데,
부럽고 슬프다.
America first!! Yess!!

Wonderful
Jhon isner vs anyone
Lets play a tiebreak
Awesome
LMAO yall put the 7-6, 5-4 30-0 point AFTER match point 40-0. Then you put a 40-30 point after a deuce-ad point. who the hell is doing the editing?
yes inner.....
poor ball boy 6:00 6:12
Very poor choice of thumbnail for video; it’s as if they are trying to make the players look as bad as possible.
Well 👍
Wow :)
