Kei talked about everything related to his injury and some of the things that have brought him back.
Nishikori on his return
“I’ve been watching a lot of tennis. I thought it was a good idea to be mentally prepared to play again. 20 months was not a short time. I was just trying to be mentally fresh, not stress too much every day. It’s usually hard for me. I have returned many times from an injury and it usually takes six months to be 100%. You lose confidence, you lose the feeling with the ball, the way you move, you lose everything. But luckily I’ve had a lot of time to train. This time I feel like I’m at 70 or 80%. So I’m pretty happy with how I’m playing now.”
«I had surgery on my hip, I sprained my ankle during these 20 months, and my shoulder was bad. So I had a couple of different injuries. That’s why it was also difficult to stay motivated, but I just wanted to get back to playing tennis and competing again. And above all watching Djokovic, Rafa who continues to play, fighting. And I haven’t played against Alcaraz, Rune. That is something that I am also looking forward to, playing against them. I just need to play more games. I think I need to play Top 50 players again. I need to get used to playing with them and regain confidence.
