Nishioka is one of those players who disappears during the clay court season, he doesn't like this surface and doesn't hide it. Great, what next?

Positive point for Nishioka he arrives with a victory in Cagliara over Varillas, good landman! Behind him he takes a set at Borges, it's really not bad and above all it shows that he wants to do something whether in Rome or at Roland. Getting laid on a surface you don't like is revealing in my opinion. As for Ofner, he is more comfortable on clay but prefers fast conditions. He regretted having done the golden swing at the start of the year because South American soils are very heavy. No luck for him in Rome we also have slow land. I think back to his defeats against Coria or Munar, two guys who smash themselves on the court and make you play too many shots, Nishioka is not as good on earth as them but he has a lot of court coverage and seems a little more motivated than usual to play this tournament, then..?
