Despite playing his first tournament in 20 months, Kei Nishikori produced a high level this week to lift the trophy at the ATP Challenger Tour 75 event in Palmas del Mar, Puerto Rico. Nishikori dropped just one set all week en route to the title.

The first live tennis match I ever saw was Nishikori at the 2019 US Open. He's a player that lived in the shadow of the big 3 his entire career. It'd be great if he could sustain his health for long enough to really measure himself against this current generation.
