An inexhaustible spiral of injuries. That is what Kei Nishikori has been enduring for a long time, and every time he sees the light at the end of the tunnel, he faces a new problem. The Japanese player registered for the ATP Challenger 125 Canberra 2026 to test himself and gain rhythm, but had to withdraw due to injury in his match against Kopriva in the first round. Consequently, he loses the points he earned last year in Hong Kong, which results in his exit from the top 200 of the ATP ranking.
Kei Nishikori was defending Hong Kong final points this week.
He will leave the top 200. https://t.co/8AlRvB7LY2— José Morgado (@josemorgado) January 6, 2026
