Kei Nishikori, a tennis player who has been rehabilitating his right elbow since last year's US Open, responded to an independent interview with NHK online on the 26th, and expressed his enthusiasm for returning.

Nishikori has continued to rehabilitate after suffering an injured right elbow surgery after participating in the U.S. Open last year. We are aiming to return to the US Open, one of the four major competitions that have been decided to be held.

On the 26th, in response to an independent interview with NHK online, “I haven't aimed to play 100 points since it was a year since I last appeared in the tournament. I want to reach a peak by November. "I want to use this period to prepare for the first return race," he said with enthusiasm.

Regarding the Tokyo Olympics, which was postponed to next year, I was hoping that “sports can give people more power, so I would like you to hold it next year”.

The number of people infected with the new coronavirus is rapidly increasing in the state of Florida, which is the practice base, ``I am practicing in an isolated and safe environment, but it is still increasing, so I really care I think I have to put on."
