Kei Nishikori during an interview with The Asahi Shimbun on Dec. 11, 2020 (Hiroki Endo)
As former world No. 4 tennis star Kei Nishikori mulls over a dismal 2020 due to surgery and contracting the novel coronavirus, he finds hope from looking back two years ago.
He was in a similar position but rebounded to storm back into the top 10 by the end of 2018.
In an interview with The Asahi Shimbun, Nishikori, who turned 31 on Dec. 29, expressed determination to make a similar comeback in 2021.
Nishikori finished the season ranked 41st in the 2020 Men’s Tennis ATP Rankings.
He said he has regrets that he ended the year without playing a match against a top 10 player.
