LiontipsNishioka vs. Kecmanovic. US Open match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Nishioka is approaching the US Open in excellent playing shape. The Japanese representative once again performed successfully on American hard courts. At the end of July, he became the champion of Atlanta, and in August he managed to win the qualification for Cincinnati and reached the second round in the main draw.
Professional qualities
Yoshihito cannot boast of anthropometric data. His height is 170 cm, and his weight is 64 kg. In this case, it is difficult to demonstrate power tennis. However, Nishioka compensates for all this with fantastic speed and sometimes gets seemingly dead balls.
Current indicators in the tour
Over the past month, the Japanese representative has won 8 out of 11 matches on American hard courts. However, he has been unsuccessful at the US Open. Nishioka has never managed to overcome the second round barrier here.
Interesting facts for betting
The last time Nishioka got past the first round barrier at the US Open was back in 2019. Moreover, he lost his last two matches there in three sets.
Current form
At the beginning of the year, Kecmanovic reached the 1/8 finals of the Australian Open, but that was where his success ended. The rest of the season, the Serb was unconvincing. Miomir alternated victories with defeats, losing to not the strongest opponents. For example, in Montreal, he lost to Nuno Borges, and in Cincinnati to Yoshihito Nishioka.
Professional qualities
Kecmanovic is a fairly tall tennis player. His height is 183 cm, which allows him to feel comfortable on fast surfaces. His strong serve and aggressive style of play sometimes baffle his opponents.
Current indicators in the tour
This season, Kecmanovic has been showing mediocre play on outdoor hard courts. He has lost 8 out of 20 matches, which is why he is ranked 53rd in the world.
Interesting facts for betting
Kecmanovic has a decent serve, so most of his recent matches have started with a struggle. For example, in the three previous matches, the first set ended with at least nine games.
Tip and bets
Nishioka recently beat the Serb, but the victory was not easy. Kecmanovic has a strong serve, which will make his life much easier. His statistics at the US Open also do not speak in favor of the Japanese. It is quite possible that Miomir will be able to resist the "samurai".
Our betting tip is Kecmanovic with a handicap (+3) game for 1.77
Bet on total
As a rule, Kecmanovic and Nishioka fights are a struggle. This was the case in the last three face-to-face meetings. We expect that trend to continue.
Betting Tip - total over 36.5 games for 1.63
Tiebreak bet
Oddly enough, there has been no tie-break in any of Kecmanovic's last four matches. Nor has this happened in 4 of the 5 previous head-to-head encounters between the tennis players. We suggest betting on its absence.
Betting Tip - tie-break - no for 1.69
