The world number 13 went under the knife in October and has not played since his third-round exit at the US Open in August. Nishikori was due to represent Japan in the ATP Cup in Perth but follows Yoshihito Nishioka in withdrawing from the team. “Unfortunately I have to pull out of the ATP Cup and the Aussie Open,” Nishikori said in a statement on his 30th birthday. “Today, together with my team, we have made this decision as I am still not 100 per cent ready/healthy to compete at the highest level....

UPDATE April 2016: Since this review was published, Nitro Pro 10 was release. Aside from performance improvements, there’s now the much-requested integration with Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox. There’s also a new facility to request and receive electronic signatures and online collaboration tools to share documents and provide feedback with online mark-up and commenting tools. It’s still the best PDF editor. Nitro Pro 9 provides facilities for PDF creation and editing, form creation, digital signatures and ID certification, commenting, plus optical character recognition (OCR) so that scanned paper documents can be turned into PDFs that are truly editable....

Nketiah, 20, joined Leeds on a season-long loan in August last year, but only made two Championship starts, with 15 appearances coming off the bench. Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa confirmed on Wednesday that Nketiah would be returning to Arsenal this month. “Arsenal have informed he will not continue with us and we are sorry for that,” he said. “Eddie arrived at Leeds when the Championship had started and had to spend time adapting to our style....

A case could easily made for four different pitchers to receive first-place votes. My ballot, at various stages of the research process, had a number of different combinations among the top four pitchers, and the fifth spot in the ballot had several different names. Innings matter, but dominance matters, too. How to mix and match to figure out a ballot? We’ll get to that in a moment. MORE: 2021 MLB awards: Full list of finalists, winners...

A video posted by Kris Bryant (@kris_bryant17) on Feb 4, 2016 at 12:03pm PST Cubs fans and management should probably stop reading right now and avoid thinking of all the terrible things that could happen while Bryant and the shark are sharing the water. Some fans were quick to express their, um, concern with Bryant’s decision. Bryant was apparently humored by the comments and was quick to assure fans he was safe....

The fake Resident Evil Netflix poster is convincing enough, featuring two large double doors covered in spiderwebs and a general visual aesthetic reminiscent of the series. However, a user on Reddit pointed out that the poster is actually an edited poster originally made for Disney’s Eddie Murphy film The Haunted Mansion. By comparing the posters, it’s clear that the supposed Resident Evil Netflix poster is just a flipped, zoomed-in version of The Haunted Mansion poster, with much of the color removed to give it a grittier look....

The controversy comes as her co-star Noah Schnapp has denied using the n-word after a video of him rapping along to a song started circulating online. However, many have pointed out that the clip of 16-year-old Brown, who appears to be much younger in the video, has been taken out of context. The clip shows the actress was asked to name a romantic couple nickname for Stranger Things characters Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) and Mike (Finn Wolfhard)....

In recent years, however, there is one area in which Johnson has no equal, and that's in the clutch. Johnson has used that very mentality to go 7-of-7 on shot attempts taken with 10 seconds or fewer left on the clock in regulation or overtime in the past two seasons, according to ESPNNewYork.com. Johnson is 3-of-3 on this season, including his two game-winners against the Suns and Thunder. MORE: Adam Silver considers scrapping sleeved jerseys | Bryant starts own company, Kobe Inc....

One of the biggest highlights of the Frontiers update is the addition of Planetary Settlements. While No Man’s Sky contained many planets that allowed players to interact with NPCs, this update looks to bring them closer to the player than ever before. Players are now able to become overseers of their own alien communities, making important decisions such as naming the town, commissioning festivals, resolving arguments, and more. Furthermore, like many of the other elements in the game, each is procedurally generated promising a new experience each time one is discovered....

Due to muscular fatigue, the Barcelona superstar was deemed unfit to feature against the Italians at the Etihad Stadium, as Luigi Di Biagio lost his first game as interim coach for the Azzurri thanks to two late goals after a flurry of substitutions caused the game to become disjointed. Messi watched on from the expensive seats, the TV cameras panning to see his reaction with every wasted Argentina chance – the forward usually obliging and producing a frustrated reaction....

Despite the many examples of mods increasing the popularity of PC games, many AAA titles don’t offer any mod support. Call of Duty and Battlefield developers don’t allow players to mod the newest versions of either shooter (despite Battlefield’s previous success with mod support) and it looks like one of the most highly-anticipated new entries in the FPS genre won’t offer support either… At least not at launch. Titanfall will unleash mech-style combat on Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PCs (but not PS4) this March and Respawn Entertainment co-founder Vince Zampella has confirmed that no mod/mapping tools will be available at launch....

Undeniably, transfers are something that every football fan looks forward to. The news reports, rumours, contract talks and agents’ statements fill every fan’s heart with boundless excitement. Each club’s every move is closely monitored and their implications are discussed at length. Each club is active in the window to some degree or another, and the fans watch the transactions unfold before them, hoping that their club signs someone from the list of players they have drawn up....

Now The Myth has met reality, and reality bites. With the defense industry downsizing, thousands of engineers and scientists are out of work. The death of the Superconducting Super Collider, the gigantic particle accelerator being built in Texas, threw 1,000 physicists, computer jocks and engineers out of work. The prospect of health-care reform led pharmaceutical and biotech firms to downsize and merge, shedding thousands of jobs in 1993. But the biggest disappointment is in academia....

The Royal Spanish Football Federation announced on Wednesday, the eve of the finals, that Lopetegui had been sacked, just 24 hours after it was confirmed he would take over at Real Madrid following the tournament. Hierro, a former captain of La Roja whose international career spanned from 1989 to 2002, has assumed the reins for the World Cup, where Spain must first tackle a Group B consisting of Portugal, Iran and Morocco....

While there’s time for the reception to improve, there’s a lot of things that some wanted to see in the a new Switch model (potential due to the various Switch Pro rumors out there) that it does not have. One of those is how little the internals have changed, aside from the 64GB memory upgrade. Now, it’s also been confirmed that the Joy-Cons for the Switch OLED Model are the exact same as previous versions....

Last month, at a press conference discussing the company’s 6-month financial results, Nintendo executives mentioned that they are taking steps to not only increase the number of Nintendo Switch Online subscribers but also to provide more value for existing subscribers. The regular addition of new features and titles to the Nintendo Switch Online library appears to be part of that effort.

A young boy had his own moment of pure euphoria when his parents, with a little help from their Google Home system, surprised him with a Switch for his seventh birthday. The clip starts with a bit of exposition, explaining that the boy had embarked on a treasure hunt to find out what his big present could be. He is first seen opening a laptop and pulling out a sheet of paper that instructs him to ask Google where his gift is....
