LiontipsNishioka - Moriya. Forecast and bets for the ATP Yokkaichi match
Command Analysis
Current form
Nishioka last tournament was the Shanghai Masters, which took place in early October. Then, let recall, Yoshihito was unable to finish the first round match against Ya Zhou due to a minor hip injury. On open hard courts this season, the Japanese has 14 wins and 15 losses.
Professional qualities
Nishioka is a classic counter-attacker who compensates for his physical weaknesses with technique and the ability to read the game. The Japanese player focuses on defense, changing the rhythm in rallies and a variety of topspin shots. His precise passing shots often prove decisive in matches. However, the lack of power in his shots limits his effectiveness, especially against physically strong opponents who are capable of imposing an aggressive pace of play.
Current indicators in the tour
Nishioka was once ranked 24th in the world, but the 29-year-old Japanese is now ranked 70th. Yoshihito has one trophy to his name this season, winning a major tournament in Atlanta in late July. It was his third ATP title in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Eight of Nishioka last 10 matches have gone to straight sets.
Current form
Moriya made it to the main draw of the Yokkaichi tournament through the qualifiers. Hiroki played flawlessly in the qualifiers, beating both Alexander Merino and Alafia Ayeni in two sets. The 34-year-old Japanese has 36 wins and 27 losses on outdoor hard courts this season.
Professional qualities
Moria is a player who prefers to play on open hard courts, where he has played most of his career matches. Despite his short stature (168 cm), which limits his serve power, Moria compensates for this with excellent movement around the court. His main strength is his forehand, with which he is able to attack with high quality, effectively putting pressure on opponents.
Current indicators in the tour
Moriya is currently ranked outside the top 300 in the world, at 379th place. The 34-year-old Japanese has never been in the top 100 in his career. This season, Hiroki has only played two quarterfinals - he reached this stage at the challengers in Nonthaburi and Burnie.
Interesting facts for betting
Moriya has lost only three of his last 20 matches by more than five games.
