After announcing that 2026 would be his last season as a professional, that he would hang up his racket for good at the end of the season, Kei Nishikori has set out to plan where he wants to compete for the last time before saying goodbye to the sport that has given him everything. So far, those who have not hesitated to lend him a hand are his colleagues from the ATP de Washington, where we will see the Japanese player in a few months. This was communicated through the tournament's social media, announcing that Nishikori will be competing there for the ninth time in his career. A place where he was champion in 2015 and reached the semifinals in 2017 and 2021.
A legend returns one last time ❤️
