Kei Nishikori makes a comeback to win his first final in six years at the Hong Kong Open.
Injury-ravaged Japanese veteran Kei Nishikori reached his first final in six years when China’s Shang Juncheng retired ill at the Hong Kong Open today. The 35-year-old Nishikori, who reached a career-high four in the world a decade ago and was a US Open finalist in 2014, was 4-3 up when Shang called it quits in their semifinal. Nishikori, who was the first Grand Slam men’s singles finalist from Asia, faces France’s Alexandre Muller for the title on Sunday.
Nishikori has emerged from years of injuries, including major hip surgery, to roll back the years in Hong Kong. A wildcard at the tournament, he beat third-seeded Russian Karen Khachanov, Britain’s Cam Norrie and Denis Shapovalov on the way to the last four. Nishikori is a 12-time ATP winner and a 2016 Rio Olympic bronze medallist.
