Former world No. 4 and 2014 US Open finalist Kei Nishikori announced on social media that he will retire at the end of this season.
A persistent right‑shoulder injury forced him to miss the Australian Open, and injuries have plagued his campaign for several years, including missing last year’s US Open. Turning pro in 2007, Nishikori became the first Japanese player to reach a Grand Slam singles final in 2014.
His retirement decision reflects the cumulative toll of injuries after a distinguished career. Nishikori thanked fans and the tennis community before stepping into the next chapter of his life.
