其實在盆織圭上週在蒙特蔞被大逆轉後我就想寫一篇,
說他今年的戰績不如去年,没想到居然現在還整個賽季報銷了...
這也代表今年只拿到兩個單打亞軍的他,會結束自2012年起每年至少奪一冠的紀錄,
也會自2014年中後排名首度前十。
好好養傷吧!期待明年澳網能健康回來。
Kei Nishikori is latest injury victim as wrist problem ends his season
Kei Nishikori has become the latest leading player to announce he will miss
the rest of the season because of injury.
The world No. 9 withdrew from this week's Masters event in Cincinnati with a
right wrist problem and scans have revealed a tear in one of the tendons.
Nishikori is hoping to avoid surgery but joins fellow top-10 players Novak
Djokovic and Stan Wawrinka in sitting out the rest of 2017. It has been a
difficult season for Nishikori, who has struggled with wrist issues for
several months and has slipped in the rankings from a high of four in March.
A statement from Nishikori's manager read: "Two days ago during practice in
Cincinnati, Kei hit a serve and heard a 'pop' in his wrist.
"We went straight to the hospital to take an MRI. Yesterday, we went to see a
very renowned wrist specialist who works with many of the MLB baseball
pitchers.
"We saw another specialist today to get a second opinion. On top of that we
have sent MRI results to three other wrist specialists to ensure we get
several independent opinions from specialists.
"After consulting with all of them, it has become clear that Kei has a tear
in one of the tendons in the right wrist.
"At this stage we have elected not to do surgery and Kei is in a cast. After
the swelling comes down in the next weeks, we will evaluate next steps. Kei
will withdraw from all the 2017 tournaments and work hard to be ready for
next year."
Nishikori was one of seven top-10 players to miss Cincinnati, joining
Djokovic, Wawrinka, Andy Murray, Roger Federer, Marin Cilic and Milos Raonic
on the sidelines.
So far only Djokovic, Wawrinka and now Nishikori have pulled out of the US
Open, which starts on Aug. 28.
