Nishikori faces six months out after hip surgery
Japan's Kei Nishikori will be sidelined for up to six months after undergoing
surgery for a hip injury, the former world number four said on Tuesday.
The injury forced the 32-year-old to withdraw from this month's Australian
Open Grand Slam.
He last played at the ATP Masters 1000 event in Indian Wells, before ending
his 2021 season in November due to a separate back injury.
"After trying several different rehab options I have decided, together with
my medical team, to have arthroscopic hip surgery this week," Nishikori said
in a post on his app.
"I will work as hard as I can, and the goal is to be back in about six
months."
Nishikori, who reached a career-high ranking of fourth shortly after becoming
the first man from Asia to reach a major final at the 2014 US Open, has been
plagued by injuries in recent years and has struggled for consistency.
