Denis Shapovalov vs Yoshihito Nishioka: Prediction

Yoshihito Nishioka

Shapovalov has had spectacular performances this season with his single-handed backhand shots being a left-handed player and he has been quite confident in his play to win the title as he hasn’t lost a single set. But on the other hand, Nishioka has been already in three finals this season and would be quite confident after defeating Ruud. He had some good performances in the hard-court season.

It will be their second face-off in the careers with their head-to-head stands at 1-0 with Nishioka winning the previous outing in 2018.

Prediction: Nishioka to win in three sets.
