Kyrgios has had a long run from the North American hardcourt swing to the beginning of the clay season. The 26-year old player has been playing on the surface since the year 2019. Moreover, he had to orchestrate a comeback to thwart Mackenzie McDonald 4-6,6-3,6-4 in the first round. Later on, in the second round, he took over the American professional Tommy Paul who was no match to Kyrgios, losing 6-4, 6-2. He has also attained the doubles quarterfinals in Houston along the side of Jack Sock.

On the other hand, Michael Mmoh failed in the qualifying rounds but got back into the competition as a lucky loser. The American professional took over Ruud’s spot in the draw following the exit of Norwegian and was the receiver of the first round as a result. Mmoh took over the preceding Wimbledon semi-finalist Sam Querrey in the second round to reach the quarterfinals.

There is a successful transition for the 26-year old from hardcourt to clay. The serving stats of the Australian were remarkable with a total of 28 aces across two matches. Kyrgios is known for elevating his game during the crunch moments of matches. he has saved all six break points in his earlier match.

Meanwhile, Mmoh is on the run to accomplish his ATP semifinal. The contest against Kyrgios could be a difficult one as he is not the greatest of returners. His solid groundstrokes and movement are one of his strengths but lack the power to hit through the opponent, mainly on moderate surfaces. Hence there is an overall chance for Kyrgios to take over Mmoh this season.

Prediction: Nick Kyrgios to win in straight sets.
