Kei Nishikori pulls out of Toronto with infected toe
TORONTO, Canada: Japan’s Kei Nishikori has withdrawn
from next week’s ATP Toronto Masters event with an infected toe, the tour announced on Sunday (August 3).
Nishikori, ranked 11th, lost to France’s 14th-ranked
Richard Gasquet in the ATP Washington quarter-finals on Friday. The Asian number one
struggled at times in moving across the court
against Gasquet, a US Open semi-finalist last
year, but insisted after the match that there was
no health problem. “I’m fine,” he said. “He just played well.”
Nishikori, who was hoping
for a strong US hardcourt season in the
run-up
to the
US Open,
must now look to the
Cincinnati Masters tournament in two weeks in
what figures to be his
final warm-up event
before the year’s final
Grand Slam event
begins at Flushing
Meadows on August 25.
Nishikori lost in the
first round at last year’s
US Open. This year, Nishikori is enjoying his best
season with titles at Memphis and Barcelona.
