Nishioka is playing too well at the Seoul tournament. It is unlikely that against Ruud, the Japanese will leave the court without a fight. Especially as the Scandinavian is not as confident as he would like to be. We believe that Yoshihito will be able to put up resistance.
In 4 of Ruud’s last 5 matches, there has been an exchange of winning sets. Nishioka is the kind of opponent who can put up a fight against the second-ranked player in the world.
Ruud defeated Nicolas Jarry (6-2, 3-6, 6-3) in his first match of the week. Contrary to expectations, the Norwegian needed an extra set.
Casper was not very successful in the second set, but it was not really a case of intrigue. In the decisive set, Jarry allowed his opponent to break, which was the key point.
Remarkably, this win allowed Ruud to qualify for the ATP Finals.
Casper Ruud has won four in a row when his opponent has been left-handed.
Nishioka, meanwhile, once again reminded us that in matches against him it is never a good idea to relax.
Suffice it to recall how the Japanese reached the final at the tournament in Washington at the beginning of August. At least a few people seem to have simply forgotten about it.
Yoshihito defeated Dan Evans (6-2, 7-6) in the first round. The Briton allowed the tennis player from Japan to convert four break points.
In the second round, Nishioka defeated Taro Daniel (6-2, 6-4). This time his opponent did not have a single break point at all.
In Nishioka’s last three hard-court matches against higher-ranked opponents, more than 20 games have been played.
In 3 of Nishioka’s last 5 matches, the tie-break has not been played. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – No” with odds of 1.44.
