Former world number four Japanese tennis player Kei Nishikori, who made a comeback on the ATP tour this year after a shoulder injury last year, is fighting hard to make his mark once again. Ever since winning the Olympics bronze medal in 2016, the Japanese had suffered various injuries and lost his ranking.

But, during his comeback this year, Nishikori played and won several matches but is yet to win a tour title. In the recently concluded Italian Open, he lost in the third round match to Alexander Zverev. While the Japanese player mentioned that it will take a while for him to get to his top form, chances are getting slim owing to the competition on the men’s side.

The Japanese player had won his last tour title at the 2019 Brisbane Open. In the tournament, he defeated the likes of Grigor Dimitrov, Jeremy Chardy, and beat Daniil Medvedev in the finals. Even though it was a sloppy ride for the Japanese since then, he was capable of winning more titles if he is back in good form.
The Japanese player will participate in the French Open later this month.
