Great news for tennis fans in Canada! 🙌 Kei Nishikori, finalist at the US Open in 2014 and the @NBOtoronto in 2016, will be playing at the @ATPChallenger @nationalbank events in Calgary and Drummondville in November. Read more: ➡️ ow.ly/6Aai50KX8f2
Kei Nishikori is set to make this comeback later this year after pushing it back from September with a couple of Challenger events on his schedule.
The Japanese player has been battling injuries for the majority of his career and it's been getting worse the older he gets. Now 32, Nishikori missed a long time this year after undergoing hip surgery in January of this year.
His initial plan was to come back during the North American hard court stretch with a planned appearance at the US Open but he had to abandon those plans. Now it's been publicised that he has accepted wild cards into two challenger events in Calgary and Drummondville.
They happen in consecutive weeks starting from November 7th. The tournament directors of both events released a joint statement that reads:
“We’re thrilled to have Kei at our tournaments. He’s
been one of the most prolific players on the Tour since the start of
his career, and even though he’s coming back from a major injury, he
remains a very talented player. We’re looking forward to seeing him play
again in Canada, and there’s no doubt our fans will be, too”.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
