Kei Nishikori will be one of the key players of the upcoming Roland Garros. The Japanese has reached the final in Barcelona (defeated by Nadal), and he lost in the semifinal in Madrid and Rome (defeated in both cases by Djokovic). In Spain, Kei pushed Nole to the limit after losing 2-6 6-4 7-6 (5).

Nishikori. I have regained my fitness

Kei is very happy with his current condition “I have regained my fitness. I did have some accumulated physical and mental fatigue, so I’ve taken it light in practice these past days,” said Nishikori “I don’t think my fitness is an issue, and the rhythm of my tennis is coming back.”

Nishikori will start his Roland Garros against Simone Bolelli. The head to head is 2-0 for the Japanese that has defeated the Italian in both occasions in 5 sets in Wimbledon.
