A year after reaching his first Grand Slam final at the U.S. Open, Japan's Kei Nishikori was eliminated a few hours into the tournament.
The fourth-seeded Nishikori lost in five sets to 41st-ranked Benoit Paire on Monday. The Frenchman saved two match points in the fourth-set tiebreaker and went on to a 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 7-6 (6), 6-4 victory.
Nishikori withdrew from the hard-court warmup at Cincinnati because of a hip injury but said Saturday he was fine physically.
