Kei Nishikori secured a hard-fought victory over Alex Michelsen in the first round of the National Bank Open in Montreal. The Japanese player, a former US Open runner-up, displayed resilience as he came from behind to win 3-6, 7-5, 6-4. This win marked Nishikori's first triumph in an ATP Masters 1000 event in three years, a significant milestone for the player who has been plagued by injuries in recent times.

Nishikori's last victory in a Masters 1000 event dated back to Indian Wells in 2021. Despite his struggles with injuries, he has shown determination to make a comeback on the ATP circuit. In 2016, he reached the final of the Canadian tournament, where he was defeated by the formidable Novak Djokovic.
