Japanese tennis ace Kei Nishikori has penned a sponsorship deal with a lavatory company to add a golden toilet to his growing collection of silverware.

Nishikori, who has become Japan'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.

A Lixil spokesperson said that they gave the Japanese star a miniature golden toilet as they sealed a partnership with him, Sport24 reported.

He added that the toilet sits in its own very little room -a case measuring 30 centimetres square.

The sponsorship deal would see Lixil's logo on Nishikori's kit for both international and domestic games until August 2018, the report added.
