Nardi - Nishikori. Prediction for the ATP Phoenix match
Nardi and Nishikori will face off in the first round of the Phoenix tournament on March 13. Nishikori has already met with Nardi before - last season he beat the Italian in the Helsinki tournament. Will Kay be able to upset Luke again? - the bets for this match are in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Luca Nardi
ItalyCurrent form
Nardi took part in the Indian Wells Masters last week, where everything ended pretty quickly for him - he lost to Cameron Norrie in the first round. On the open hard, Luke has nine wins and six losses this season.
Professional qualities
Nardi feels confident playing on the back line. Luca knows how to play on fast surfaces - just recently, at a competition in Doha, he managed to take a set from Alcar. This success has significantly increased his confidence. Sometimes there are unforced errors in the Italian's game, but on the whole he acts consistently, shooting tightly from both forehand and backhand.
Current indicators in the tour
Last season, Nardi recorded tournament wins in Naples and Rovereto. In total, the Italian has won ten trophies in his career, among which there is not yet a single ATP title. Luke is currently ranked 67th in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
In the last three matches involving Nardi, two tie-breaks were played.
Kei Nishikori
JapanCurrent form
Nishikori only managed to overcome the opening lap at Indian Wells last week - he beat Jaume Munyar, but then lost to Hugo Umber. Kay has six wins and four losses on the open hard court this season.
Professional qualities
Age takes its toll — Nishikori's mobility is no longer the same, especially at the end of matches, and it becomes more difficult to maintain concentration. Serving could have fixed the situation, but power on this element has never been his strong suit, which leads to a large number of lost games on his serve.
Current indicators in the tour
Nishikori is a former world number four. He is currently ranked 76th in the world. Last season, the Japanese won the Indore Challenger in Helsinki, thereby winning his 22nd career title.
Interesting facts for betting
Nishikori has lost in 5 of his last 7 matches.

In 3 of the last 5 Backgammon matches, events on the court developed according to this scenario
2.26Tip and bets
Nishikori is unstable at a distance, but he is able to play one or two matches at a high level. Due to his age, Kay now suffers from poor physical condition - it is difficult for him to withstand protracted fights. Nevertheless, we expect that the Japanese will be able to beat Nardi in the upcoming match - last season, we recall, he beat him at the Helsenki tournament.
Our prediction is that Nishikori will win with a handicap of (-2) games by a factor of 1.79
Bet on the total
Last season, he was a tennis player and had a face-to-face match as part of the competition in Helsinki. That meeting turned out to be protracted and was played in three games. We expect that the upcoming confrontation between Backgammon and Nishikori will also be successful.
The second betting tip is a total of more than 22 games for a coefficient of 1.98
Bet on the first set
In three of Nishikori's last five matches, fewer than 9.5 games were played in the first set. Most likely, the upcoming match against Backgammon will start with the grassroots first game.
The betting tip is a total of less than 9.5 games in the first set for a coefficient of 1.89
