Kei Nishikori vs Mackenzie McDonald Prediction and Betting Tips (12.02.2025)

Command Analysis

Kei Nishikori

Japan

Current form

Nishikori got off to a good start in the new season - he managed to reach the finals at the Hong Kong tournament. But he left the subsequent tournaments almost immediately. Last week, Kay lost to Tomas Makhach in the first round of the competition in Dallas. The Japanese has six wins with four losses this year.

Professional qualities

Nishikori, at the peak of his career, was capable of beating anyone, including Djokovic himself. However, constant injuries did not allow him to realize his full potential. In recent years, he has been in the infirmary more often than on the court, and age only adds to the difficulties. Nevertheless, the Japanese still moves quickly along the back line and holds the ball well, although his attacking arsenal is not as dangerous as before.

Current indicators in the tour

Nishikori is currently ranked 71st in the world rankings. During his career, the Japanese tennis player has won 22 trophies, 12 of which are in the ATP category. Last season, Kay won the title at the Challenger in Helsinki, which was held on indoor hard court.

Interesting facts for betting

Nishikori has won 9 of the last 12 first-round matches at ATP tournaments.

Mackenzie McDonald

USA

Current form

McDonald has seven wins and four losses in the new season. McKenzie played his last match in early February, when he beat Hao Hung in two games at the Davis Cup.

Professional qualities

McDonald has been appearing more and more frequently at second-rate tournaments lately. And even there, the American does not demonstrate anything good. Perhaps Mackenzie is still worried about the hand injury he suffered a few years ago. It is precisely because of the damage that the American still cannot return to his previous level.

Current indicators in the tour

McDonald's is ranked outside the top 100 in the world, at 123. The American was once 37th. McKenzie has won six trophies in his career. He won his last title last season on the outdoor hard court in Shenzhen.

Interesting facts for betting

McDonald reached the semifinals twice on the courts of Delray Beach.

Tip and bets

1.99Nishikori with a handicap (-3)

Nishikori has played ten matches this season, winning six of them. Of course, it's hard for him to play against powerful opponents from the top 30 in the world rankings due to his age, but he's beaten guys like McDonald all his career. The American has been playing only challenger tournaments lately, and he has a lot more unsuccessful performances than successful ones. We believe that Kay will deal with Mackenzie without any problems.

Our prediction is that Nishikori will win with a handicap of (-3) games for a coefficient of 1.99

1.99The total is less than 22

Bet on the total

There are doubts that there may be a struggle in the upcoming match. McDonald hasn't shown anything lately, even on the Challengers. We think it will be an easy match for Nishikori.

The second forecast is a total of less than 22 games for a coefficient of 1.99

Bet on the first set

In three of McDonald's last five matches, fewer than 9.5 games were played in the first set. Most likely, the upcoming match against Nishikori will also start with the "grassroots" first game.

The forecast is a total of less than 9.5 games in the first set for a coefficient of 1.85
