Exclusive: IPTL is fun; but rules confusing, says Kei Nishikori

The International Premier Tennis League has got a thumbs up from Japan's ace tennis player Kei Nishikori, but he admits that the rules of the competition are a bit confusing.

The International Premier Tennis League (IPTL) has got a thumbs up from Japan's ace tennis player Kei Nishikori, but he admits that the rules of the competition are a bit confusing.

"The team competition is very good, you only have them in Davis Cup. The rules made me little confused but its real fun on the court," Nishikori said while talking to India Today television in Kobe.

When asked, on what made him to join the IPTL, the world No.8 said: "It's a great event and good opportunity for me to play here in Japan my home country. Moreover, lot of great players and legends of the game are playing in the league."

Niskikori is the first tennis player from Japan to break into top-10 of world rankings and also made into the US Open final last year. "It was really a good feeling to make into US Open final last year and almost my dream coming true. I hope to make it to a grand slam final soon and move forward from there," Nishikori said.
"The toughest part for me was to go above top 20 and I was there for two years despite doing everything right, but something was not quite enough. I got physically stronger, spent more time on the court and the little things helped me to improve," Nishikori said on his rise on the ATP tour.
However, for Nishikori, Novak Djokovic comes as a tough opponent and so also Rafael Nadal.
