Kei Nishikori dementiert Rücktrittsgerüchte vor dem Sarasota Challenger

Kei Nishikori nahm auf X Stellung zu den kursierenden Rücktrittsspekulationen und bezeichnete Berichte über seinen Abschied nach dem dieswöchigen Sarasota Challenger als falsch. Der 36-jährige ehemalige Weltranglistenvierte bestätigte, dass er an dem Turnier in der IMG Academy teilnehmen wird und plant, in Kürze ein persönliches Update zu geben. Verschiedene Medien hatten behauptet, er würde seinen Schläger nach dem Turnier an den Nagel hängen.

Nishikori, der aktuell auf Platz 417 der ATP-Weltrangliste steht, schrieb am 5. April auf X: „Hallo zusammen. Es kursieren viele falsche Informationen. Ja, ich spiele beim Sarasota Challenger in der @IMGAcademy, und nein, ich werde diese Woche nicht in den Ruhestand gehen. Ich werde mich in naher Zukunft selbst zu diesem Thema äußern. Danke.“ Das Turnier findet vom 5. bis 12. April statt, und Nishikori trifft in der ersten Runde auf Nicolas Kicker. Er gewann das Turnier im Jahr 2010, und die Organisatoren bezeichneten seine Teilnahme als „eine große Sache“.
