Command Analysis
Kovacevic took part in the tournament in Atlanta last week. Alexander left that competition quite quickly, losing to Reilly Opelka in the first round. On open hard courts this season, the American has 14 wins and eight losses. He demonstrated his best result on this surface at the tournament in Los Cabos, where he managed to reach the quarterfinals - at this stage he lost to Stefanos Tsitsipas.

On outdoor hard courts this year, Nishioka has nine wins and eight losses. He has played in Washington six times in his career. His best result on local courts is the 2022 final.

Nishioka won the title in Atlanta last week. We hope that the Japanese will not want to stop there and will continue his winning ways in Washington. It should be noted that Yoshihito has already beaten Kovacevic on open hard courts earlier in his career.
