Jannik Sinner vs. Yoshihito Nishioka: Prediction
Jannik Sinner is the certain favorite to advance into the quarterfinals. The Italian took some time to regain his best form in the first round, however, he looked too dominant in the final set against Dan Evans. However, Yoshihito Nishioka has a tendency to trouble his opponents given that he is left-handed. The sixth seed will target a straight-sets victory, however, the Japanese will certainly not make the task easy for him.
