Former U.S. Open finalist Kei Nishikori will conclude his professional tennis career at the Japan Open later this year. The decision allows the 36-year-old veteran to finish his career at home, marking the end of his time on the professional circuit.
The ATP Tour confirmed on Tuesday that Nishikori has been given a wild card invitation by tournament organizers. This invitation ensures his entry into the field for the upcoming event. Nishikori originally made his professional debut in 2007, establishing a career that has spanned nearly two decades.
Nishikori is notable for a historic achievement in the sport. He became the first Japanese man to advance to the final of a Grand Slam singles tournament. This milestone occurred at the 2014 U.S. Open. His upcoming appearance at the Japan Open will serve as the final tournament of his career.
