Kei Nishikori expects to be ready for Wimbledon next week, saying Friday that his condition is steadily improving after hurting his left calf last week.

"My injury is getting better all the time and I think I'll be fine," Nishikori, the fifth seed at Wimbledon, said in a post on his official website.

Nishikori retired in a Gerry Weber Open semifinal against Andreas Seppi with the calf problem on Saturday in Halle, Germany but it turned out to be nothing serious.
