Nishikori Kei, the top player in Japan, remains in the same place in 66th place, while Nishioka Yoshihito, the second player in Japan, is also in 78th place in the same place without any changes.[Osaka Naomi vs Navarro 1 Points Breaking News]22-year-old Mochizuki finished second in the Lexus Nottingham Open last week, and rose to 18 positions to 146th in the world. As a result, Mochizuki surpassed 32-year-old Daniel, who had fallen to 157th place, becoming the third in Japan. After withdrawing from the second round at the Gonet Geneva Open last month (Switzerland/Geneva, Red Clay, ATP250) due to back pain, Nishikori missed the French Open (France/Paris, Red Clay, Grand Slam) and the UNICRECITICS Czech Open (Czech/Prostèjov, Klay, ATP Challenger), which he had planned to compete in due to back pain, as well as the UNICRECITICS Czech Open (Czech/Prostèjov, Klay, ATP Challenger), which he had been scheduled to compete in. Furthermore, Nishikori has been scheduled to miss the Mallorca Championships (Spain/Mallorca, turf, ATP250) which opened on the 22nd, and Wimbledon (UK/London, turf, Grand Slam), which opened on the 30th, so he will now skip the turf court season this season, aiming to return in the hard court season that will take place next month and beyond. For this reason, Nishikori’s points did not change in the world rankings updated this week, and the ranking did not change. Among other Japanese players, Nishioka, 29, ranked 78th in the world and remains second in the Japanese team.
