Nishikori competes again after months out due to his back injury

Kei Nishikori does not give up on his efforts to stay active and find joy on the professional circuit. Despite facing a challenging year due to a back injury that prevented him from competing normally, the 35-year-old Japanese player returns to the courts this week at the Yokohama Challenger. His troubled back halted the upward trend that was anticipated earlier in the year when he was a finalist in Hong Kong, leading to poor results in the subsequent months and keeping him out of action since the Cincinnati tournament. In his comeback match, he defeated Ichikawa by 4-6 6-1 6-1 and will now face South Korean player Shin.
