Nishikori Sets ATP Tour Return In Atlanta

Former World No. 4 Kei Nishikori will return to ATP Tour action in July at the Atlanta Open, it was announced Tuesday by a tournament press release.

The Japanese star, who underwent arthroscopic left hip surgery last year, has not competed at the ATP Tour level since the BNP Paribas Open in October 2021.

Earlier this month, the 12-time tour-level titlist Nishikori began his comeback in style on the ATP Challenger Tour. Despite not competing for 20 months, Nishikori dropped just one set en route to triumphing at the Palmas del Mar Challenger in Puerto Rico.

American No. 1 Taylor Fritz and defending champion Alex de Minaur are also among the Atlanta entry list. Six-time champion John Isner will return to Atlantic Station, as well as World No. 35 Ben Shelton, who made his tour-level debut at the 250 event last year. The Atlanta Open will be held 24-30 July.
