Shingo Kunieda (国枝 慎吾, Kunieda Shingo, born February 21, 1984) is a Japanese former wheelchair tennis player. With four Paralympic gold medals, 28 major singles titles – an all-time record in singles of any tennis discipline – and 50 major titles overall, Kunieda is widely considered the greatest male wheelchair player of all time.[1][2]

Kunieda was the ITF World Champion from 2007 to 2010. He was also the year-end No. 1 in doubles in 2007. In 2007, 2009, 2010, 2014, and 2015, Kunieda won all three singles majors that hosted wheelchair singles events (Wimbledon did not do so until 2016). In 2007 and 2008, Kunieda also won three of the four Masters series events. Kunieda is the only male player to retain the men's singles title at the Paralympics – he took the gold medal in 2008, 2012 and 2020. In addition, Kunieda won the gold medal in the 2004 men's doubles, and has been part of two World Team Cup wins. He has 103 career titles over singles and doubles combined, including 50 majors.

Kunieda had a three-year, 106-match consecutive win streak. The streak began after his loss at the 2007 Masters and ended to Stéphane Houdet in the semifinals of the 2010 Masters.[3] In late 2012 to early 2013, Kunieda had a win streak of 44 matches. Between January 2014 and December 2015, Kunieda was on yet another winning streak of 77 matches, ending to Joachim Gérard in the round-robin phase of the 2015 NEC Masters tournament.

Kunieda is a right-handed player whose favorite surface is hard court.[citation needed] He was coached by Hiromichi Maruyama. He announced his retirement in January 2023.[4]

2021–2023 Non calendar year Grand Slam and retirement

[edit]

In the Tokyo Paralympics, which was held in 2021 due to COVID-19, Kunieda won five matches without dropping a set to win gold in the singles. The semifinal win was against defending champion Reid and the final was against Egberink.

In the US Open Kunieda beat Ratzlaff, Reid and Hewett to win his 25th major singles title.

He announced his retirement in January 2023.[4]

Playing style

[edit]

Overwhelming "chair work" is a strength. Wheelchair tennis is allowed up to two bounces, but Kunieda hits almost all balls with one bounce. For opponents, it is a threat because the time to wait for the ball is halved. In 2008 former world No. 3 Michael Jeremias also said, "It's true that he has almighty abilities, but what he excels at is his speed of movement. He is outstanding in the current world of wheelchair tennis."[105] Service and backhand have also been improved according to the times and injuries.[106]

Until 2006, he was ranked around 10th in the world, but with the advice of Anne Quinn, a mental trainer he met at the Australian Open, he started saying "I'm the strongest!" The face was strengthened[106] and after 10 months he became world rank 1.[107]

In order to spread sports for people with disabilities and make it a sport that is enjoyable to watch, we are trying to make plays that were not seen in wheelchair tennis, such as strong topspin backhands and aggressive net play, contributed.[106]
