Japanese Tennis icon Kei Nishikori released an update on his COVID-19 situation on Friday. Nishikori was supposed to take part in the Western and Southern Open before the US Open. However, testing positive for COVID-19, he was forced to pull out of the tournament. He confined himself to complete isolation following the test results. As the protocol goes, he had to undergo another test on Friday. While the fans were hoping for some good news Nishikori took it upon himself to let them down gently as he tested positive yet again. Highest-Paid Tennis Players [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/822555-01-05-1.jpg] KEI NISHIKORI TESTS POSITIVE YET AGAIN “Hi everyone, I have some unfortunate news today. This morning while still in Florida, I got tested for COVID-19 and tested positive I will have to pull out of the Cincinnati Tournament at this time,” he said in the news through his app [https://www.keisapp.com/w/kei-nishikori/#/item/3d67544f31556a4d/]. “Just a little update, I took another Covid test and am still positive.” Nishikori shared his condition with everyone, subsequently stating that he’ll remain in complete isolation. Promising to keep his fans in the loop, the Japanese icon expressed his heartfelt gratitude for all his well-wishers. “Next test will be early next week at which time we will update you with more information. Thanks for all the messages and have a good weekend.” [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/kei-nishikori-update-covid-.jpg] Making it into the US Open finals in 2014, Kei Nishikori is the highest-rated player from Japan. In 2015 he reached a career-high rank of 4th. Pulling out of the Western and Southern Open, Nishikori remains hopeful regarding the US Open. Even though the second test result fetching positive puts the Grand Slam idea into jeopardy. However, Nishikori is yet to shed some light on his future. With barely 10 days left for the US Open to commence, time is running out for Nishikori. Even if he is not able to participate in the Grand Slam, everyone will be hoping for his speedy recovery.
