Kei Nishikori pulls out of Australian Open due to hip injury
Kei Nishikori has withdrawn from the Australian Open as he continues to
recover from a hip injury, the 32-year-old announced Thursday.
Nishikori, who reached a career-high ranking of No. 4 shortly after becoming
the first man from Asia to reach a major final at the 2014 U.S. Open, has
been plagued by injuries in recent years and struggled to maintain
consistency.
“Since the end of last year I have been struggling with my hip,” Nishikori,
currently ranked 47th, said on Twitter. “It is not 100% recovered yet and I
will have to pull out of the Aussie swing.
“This is very disappointing as the Australian Open feels like my “home”
Grand Slam … And can’t wait to be back next year.”
Nishikori suffered a first-round exit in last year’s Australian Open. This
year’s tournament begins Jan. 17.
