Yoshihito Nishioka, Japan’s top-ranked tennis player, has tied the knot with TV reporter and weathercaster Saya Hiyama. The couple celebrated their union by sharing charming photos on social media, complete with a delightful Pikachu cameo. What’s not to love?

Yoshihito Nishioka has had a remarkable career. In 2023, he reached the fourth round of both the Australian Open and the French Open, solidifying his position among tennis’s elite. That same year, he achieved his career-high ATP ranking of World No. 24. Despite standing at just 5 feet 7 inches, Nishioka has proven himself capable of holding his own against the towering big servers on the professional tour.

Saya Hiyama, now widely recognized as Nishioka’s supportive partner, has a fascinating story of her own. In February 2021, a video of Hiyama seamlessly transitioning from lighthearted banter to delivering an earthquake early warning went viral, earning her and her network, WNL, international acclaim. Her quick thinking and professionalism garnered her a cult following. Hiyama has since been a fixture in Nishioka’s player box, cheering him on during his matches.

Nishesh Basavareddy has officially joined the Adidas family, sporting their shoes and apparel on the court. The young American has been making a name for himself on the Challenger circuit, reaching five finals in the latter half of the year and securing two titles.

As a junior in 2022, Basavareddy showcased his potential by winning the boys’ doubles title at the US Open alongside Ozan Baris. Fast forward to 2024, and after a stint playing college tennis, he decided to take the plunge into the professional ranks. His decision has already paid off, earning him a spot in the 2024 NextGen ATP Finals.

Thanks to a wild card entry, he’ll be making his Grand Slam debut in the main draw of the 2024 Australian Open.
