Kei Nishikori to become father in 2021

Kei Nishikori has been having an up and down season in 2021 but his year will get much better later in the day when he will become a father.

The 31-year old has not been enjoying a stellar campaign so far even though he has enjoyed some successful runs. His win/loss record in 2021 is 10-10 as he lastly played at the Rome Master's where he reached the 3rd round and challenged Alexander Zverev in three close sets. Nishikori who is currently ranked 48th will remember 2021 for a special reason.

He will become a first time father. He shared the happy news on his app saying:

"Mai and I are excited to announce that later this year we will add a little minion."

The announcement was later added to his official Twitter page with the same caption and a photo of some minions a racquet and tennis balls. He got married to his partner Mai in December of last year and now the happy family of two will become an even happier family of 3. Congratulations.
