40' - Nishikori copes a hard blow

Lalremsiami penetrates the circle from the right and as she looks to cross the ball to the centre, the Indian swings her stick wildly.

It hits Nishikori on her bicep and the Japanese No 19 is down on the field. Some medical assistance for Nishikori and she is being taken off in a stretcher.

This is not a sight you want to see ever in a playing field. Hopefully, she is okay.
