Tennis Players Osaka, Nishikori Unlock Their 'Insight' in Cup Noodle's Prince of Tennis Ad
posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
The training has only become more intense for tennis greats Kei Nishikori and Naomi Osaka. The pair were abducted by Prince of Tennis coach Nyudō Mifūne in Cup Noodle's "Hungry to Win" campaign ahead of the Australian Open. The eccentric tennis coach had the champs jumping alongside kangaroos, running on water of Sydney Harbor, and climbing waterfalls above waiting crocodiles' open mouths.

All of the training accumulates in practice matches against Prince of Tennis players Shūsuke Fuji, Kaoru Kaidō, Takeshi Momoshiro, Kunimitsu Tezuka, and Ryoma Echizen. Nishikori and Osaka are thwarted again and again until they remember their training and unlock their own power ups. Keigo Atobe then shows up in a helicopter to take them to their next destination, presumably the Australian Open.
Here's to hoping Osaka and Nishikori find success this month!
