Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Kei Nishikori Prediction and Betting Tips (04.10.2024)

Command Analysis

Stefanos Tsitsipas

Greece

Current Form

Last week, Tsitsipas exited the Tokyo tournament swiftly, losing in the first round to Alex Mikaltsen. On outdoor hard courts this season, he holds 11 wins and 10 losses.

Professional Qualities

In his prime, Tsitsipas was known for his powerful first serve, reaching speeds of around 124 mph, and a well-crafted forehand, winning points with swift combinations. However, as he strays further from his peak, his serve has become less effective, and he tends to make more errors while trying to finish rallies quickly. His one-handed backhand is currently vulnerable, as opponents can exploit it with consistent pressure to outmaneuver the former world number three.

Current Tour Statistics

Tsitsipas, a former world number three, is currently ranked 12th globally. This season, he found success at a tournament, winning the clay Masters in Monte Carlo in April, marking his 12th ATP title in his career.

Interesting Betting Insights

In the second half of the season, Tsitsipas lost 4 out of 5 matches on outdoor hard courts.

Kei Nishikori

Japan

Current Form

Nishikori secured a victory in the first round of the Shanghai tournament against Mariano Navone with scores of 3-6, 6-4, 6-3. Kei recorded one ace, converted three break points, and lost two games on his serve. For the Japanese player, this marks his sixth win on outdoor hard courts this season against four losses.

Professional Qualities

Nishikori's tennis is characterized by his speed, agility, and mental acuity. While he has become less mobile with age, his hand skills remain sharp. Most importantly, his extensive experience has enhanced his tactical strength. Kei is adept at exploiting opponents' weaknesses.

Current Tour Statistics

Nishikori is a former world number four and currently ranks 200th globally. This season, he reached the quarterfinals in four tournaments, progressing to this stage in Montreal, Como, Genoa, and Tokyo.

Interesting Betting Insights

In 6 out of his last 10 matches, Nishikori has seen fewer than 9.5 games played in the first set.
