It was believed that Kei Nishikori is the only Top 10 player in the world to have not been in a relationship. But, the latest reports surfacing claim to be contradictory.

According to a report by bolamarela.pt, the 26-year-old tennis star has been dating 23-year-old Japanese model Ako Mizuki.

The duo has been often seen together and Mizuki was in Madrid this past week along with Nishikori, who winded up the tournament here with a semi-final finish.

Meanwhile, Nishikori will now move on to Rome for yet another Masters event, where he’s been handed over a first-round bye.
