Additional Information

General
BASEBALL INFLUENCE
At age nine he considered quitting tennis in order to pursue baseball. He has continued to follow baseball and tries to incorporate the habits of his favourite baseball players into his own routines. "I watch a lot of baseball. There are several Japanese players playing in the MLB, so I watch them a lot. Especially Shohei Ohtani and Yu Darvish, they're my favourite. I've never met them, but I think they're super strict with nutrition, fitness, everything they do is amazing. I think that's why they're playing at that level. I learn a lot of things from baseball players. Those guys always have a purpose to work, to practise, to go to the gym, to sleep, also their recovery is very important. Those are the things that I always want to know about, what they do after a game, before a game, and their routine. I try to find them on the internet. If I get a chance, I want to meet them and I want to ask them a lot of questions." (atptour, 24 Apr 2023, 21 Apr 2023)

MOVE TO USA
At age 12 he began training at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL, United States of America. "I got to know Kei [Japanese tennis player Kei Nishikori] when I moved to Florida. He was already like top 10 when I first met him. I didn't know anything about professional tennis, so I was like, 'Maybe I can beat this guy'. I don't want to say that I can't do it but being top five, top 10 for so many years [like Nishikori] is unreal. I want to be like that. I want to do as good as he did in the past years."
