Summary The Japanese ace has become the country's best-ever male tennis star.

TOKYO (AFP) - Japanese tennis superstar Kei Nishikori has added a golden toilet to his growing collection of silverware after penning a sponsorship deal with a lavatory company.

The Japanese ace, who has become the country s best-ever male tennis star after rising to fourth in world rankings, was presented with the model loo by porcelain firm Lixil -- which also makes other household products such as windows and tiles.

"We gave him a miniature golden toilet as we sealed a partnership with him," a Lixil spokesman said.

The toilet sits in its own very little room -- a case measuring 30 centimetres (12 inches) square, he said.
