Kei Nishikori withdraws from the DC Open. It was supposed to be his comeback's 2nd event
Kei Nishikori pulled out of the DC Open on Tuesday because of an injured left knee shortly before he was scheduled to play what was supposed to be his first match at the second ATP tournament of a comeback from hip surgery. Nishikori, a 33-year-old from Japan who was the 2014 U.S. Open runner-up, returned to top-level tennis last week in Atlanta. Nishikori made it as high as No. 4 in early 2015, about six months after his semifinal victory over Novak Djokovic at the U.S. Open made him the first male Grand Slam singles finalist from Asia.
