Attention, Japanese on the run!
The moped Nishioka negotiated his match against his buddy McDo well yesterday, pushing him into a long and demanding line. Can this strategy, true to his DNA, work against big Foe?
Unlike McDo, Big Foe has the weapons to overwhelm Nishioka in 2 racket strokes. His aggressive game system allows him not to have to enter a long fight at each point, which is essential against a raccoon like Nishioka, and even more so in the crushing heat of Atlanta. And it is clear that physicality is a major asset in these conditions. Tiafoe has a good one, he is a buffalo. But I find that it balances out the difference in average level a little. If Nishioka plays at a good level, which was the case in his two previous matches, he could push Tiafoe to dig into his entrenchments and there, I really don't know how he can react. I can't imagine him playing a match at his best level for 2 sets in a row. I don't know, I tell myself that it's still a bit early, and at the same time he is the one with the best weapons and who will surely decide the fate of this encounter...
