Kei Nishikori to Conclude Career at Japan Open

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 Nishikori originally made his professional debut in 2007, establishing a career that has spanned nearly two decades.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.
