LiontipsOje-Aliassime vs Nishioka: Match Preview and Betting Odds for ATP Tokyo

Auger-Aliassime is in solid form. The Canadian delivered impressive results at the Davis Cup, winning all three of his matches against Sebastian Baez, Otto Virtanen, and Jack Draper. On outdoor hard courts this year, Felix has recorded six wins alongside eight losses.
Professional Skills
Auger-Aliassime boasts a powerful forehand, and his combination of first serve and forehand can strike fear into any opponent. However, he does have some weaknesses in his game, notably an unreliable backhand, which often leads Felix to run around for his forehand during matches.
