Nishioka on his tatami

In the land of the rising sun, Nishioka has not often succeeded: 1 victory for 5 defeats in Tokyo. It's a bit confusing...

The worst thing is that on the other hand, Father Giron is coming out of two qualifying matches during which he eliminated... (I'll give it to you): 2 Japanese in 2 sets! 😅. For the superstitious, move on! Otherwise, and more seriously, we left Giron with an excellent match against Sinner. He gave everything in the first set and clearly should have won it, but the success of the champions was worth Rod'geur's forehand volley. Aside from this match, Amerlock surprises me and has been playing quite a bit for a few weeks. He comes out of the qualifiers! Matchup level, I already believe that Uchiyama trained with Nishioka after losing against Giron. The Rican is scanned to the millimeter! Then, he likes to rely on a ball that is moving forward and Nishioka will do everything to piss him off with his left-handed forehand which he bombs without much speed. We saw the Jap clutch on quite a few matches on the Asian tour. He is downright dangerous and has often had good results against Giron but Giron's current form worries me for him. I have the impression that this match will not be easy for either player...
