Kei Nishikori desmiente rumores de retirada antes del Challenger de Sarasota

Kei Nishikori respondió a las especulaciones sobre su posible retirada en X, calificando de falsas las informaciones que apuntaban a su despedida tras el Challenger de Sarasota de esta semana. El ex número 4 del mundo, de 36 años, confirmó que jugará el torneo en la IMG Academy y que planea ofrecer una actualización personal pronto. Varios medios habían afirmado que colgaría la raqueta tras el torneo.

Nishikori, actualmente clasificado en el puesto 417 del ATP Tour, escribió en X el 5 de abril: “Hola a todos. Hay mucha información falsa circulando. Sí, voy a jugar el Challenger de Sarasota en la @IMGAcademy, y no, no me voy a retirar esta semana. Haré una actualización yo mismo sobre este tema en un futuro próximo. Gracias”. El torneo se celebra del 5 al 12 de abril, y Nishikori tiene previsto enfrentarse a Nicolás Kicker en la ronda inicial. El tenista ganó el torneo en 2010 y los organizadores describieron su participación como “algo muy importante”.
