(Reuters) - There are still four Grand Slam events that will be contested before medals can be won at the Tokyo Olympics but as far as Kei Nishikori is concerned, all roads from now on lead to one destination.

“For me it (the Olympics) will be the biggest event of the year,” Nishikori told Reuters after reaching the second round of the U.S. Open on Monday.
