Fritz, who is 24 years old, is at the prime of his career right now. He had a successful year in 2021 and has been able to maintain that momentum into the new year. In the ATP Cup, he defeated higher-ranked Felix Auger-Aliassime and Cameron Norrie, and for the first time in his career, he advanced to the second week of a Slam. Fritz reached the fourth round of the Australian Open for the first time, pushing World No. 4 Stefanos Tsitsipas to five sets before losing out. He reached the quarterfinals of his previous game, the Dallas Open, where he lost to Marcos Giron. In the first round, the seventh seed comfortably overcame Adrian Mannarino 6-3 6-3.

Nishioka is a Japanese professional tennis player. He didn’t have a great start to the season. In both of Adelaide’s warm-up events, he was eliminated in the round of 32. After that, the 26-year-old competed at the Australian Open, where he was eliminated in the first round. Afterward, he competed in two challenger finals, winning one of them. The Japanese player then lost in the round of 16 at the Dallas Open, and he was knocked out in the round of 32 at the Delray Beach Open. He advanced through the qualifying rounds in Mexico, defeating Feliciano Lopez in the round of 32 in three sets 2-6 6-0 6-4.

Fritz is unlikely to have any difficulty in this duel. Even though Nishioka has a head-to-head edge over him, Taylor has changed dramatically since their last face-to-face confrontation, and he is anticipated to declass his opponent this time. Nishioka, though, has been performing comparatively better in this tournament, hasn’t been able to regain his previous form.

Prediction: Fritz to win in three sets.
