Kei Nishikori has announced today that he has pulled out of the Swiss Indoors in Basel due to a shoulder injury, opening the door to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga for a place in the World Tour Finals.
The Japanese player has struggled with fitness issues all season and hasn’t confirmed yet when he will return to action. His place in the draw will be occupied by Marcos Baghdatis, who has received a last minute wild card. The Cypriot is currently playing in Stockholm, where he will face Gilles Muller tomorrow in the quarter finals.
