The Japan Times is offering several readers the chance to win a copy of the recently released Japanese book "The Road to Top" about Kei Nishikori and his rise to become one of the best tennis players in the world.
The autobiography traces Nishikori's life from his days as a youngster playing in Shimane Prefecture to his appearance in last year's U.S. Open final.
The book covers the many challenges the superstar encountered along the way, including the surgery on his right elbow that sidelined him for most of the 2009 season.
The 370-page tome, which quickly became a best seller, was written with veteran tennis writer Hidehiro Akiyama and published by Bungeishunju.
Several pages of color photos are included showing the 25-year-old Nishikori at various stages of his career.
To enter the drawing for the books, please send an email with your name and address to: [email protected] with "The Road to Top" entered in the subject line.
The contest is open to both domestic and overseas readers.
