Kei Nishikori is now extremely well known in the world of tennis. He is currently ranked world No. 6, and his relentless and persistent playing style is winning the hearts of many.
Back in his home country here in Japan, he's now a very popular figure. So much so that he now appears in several TV commercials. One of his most recent commercial appearance is for Nissin Cup Noodles.
In the commercial, he is playing "Space Invaders" in real life, where he has to use a fired-up tennis ball and racket to kill off the drone invaders!
