''When I get injured, I just try to look forward and do rehab. I had many injuries, not easy for sure, but I'm really happy to back on the court, get victory from a player like Felix, happy to back on the tour and compete again.
''When you are working hard in a gym and doing rehab, many good things are waiting. I just try to look forward all the time, yeah, not easy life.' '
Nishikori hopes to have a long career.

Nishikori, who turned 31 in December, is hoping to play for a many more years on the Tour. ''I always think I have my best year ahead of me. I don't know if I should say I would come back stronger after surgery, but I have experience, and I don't feel I'm old nor I get tired more easily than before, that's good,'' Nishikori said.
''I'm sure something more to come, like some more injuries may come, so I just try to be prepared. Hope I can play many more years like Novak, Rafa and Roger, and I want to have a good solid year."
