Honami Tsuboi
Kei Nishikori is the only Japanese tennis player to have made it to the top five in world rankings. At his peak, he reached the fourth spot in 2015, but has dropped to 49th in 2021. That’s not too bad, considering most of us wouldn’t make it to the top million, but that’s beside the point.
Honami Tsuboi is his former girlfriend, whom he had been dating for several years since 2015. Hanomi is a former gymnast who retired in 2010. After dating Kei for about two years, they decided to go their separate paths, where his would lead him to his wife, Mai Yamauchi.
