Nishikori's Dream Selfie

If given the chance for a dream selfie, some ATP World Tour pros might opt for pictures with other famous athletes, such as David Beckham or Kobe Bryant.

But not Kei Nishikori. Who would Nishikori want to take a selfie with?

“Mickey,” he said on Wednesday after his second-round win against Jeremy Chardy at the Australian Open.

“Who is that?” the reporter asked.

Nishikori, apparently befuddled by the question, simply repeated his one-word answer. “Mickey,” he said.

The reporter still did not understand, though. “What’s Mickey famous for?” the reporter asked.

“Disney World,” Nishikori said to laughs.

To be fair, the Japanese star should know Mickey Mouse and other Disney World characters better than most. Nishikori trains at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, which is about 160 kilometers from Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.

Nishikori will hope to be the star of his third-round match on Friday. The 27-year-old faces Slovakia’s Lukas Lacko, who beat Dudi Sela of Israel 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4.
