Yoshihito Nishioka - Dusan Lajovic. Betting Tip for the ATP Rome match
Nishioka and Lajovic will meet in the first round of the Masters in Rome on May 7. Nishioka's current playing conditions remain a mystery. The Japanese has not played an official match since mid-March, when he was forced to withdraw from the Masters in Miami due to a leg injury. Given such a long pause and a possible lack of game tone, Lajovic has a good chance to take advantage of the situation. Will Dusan be able to beat Yoshihito and reach the second round of the competition in Rome? - the bets for this match are in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Yoshihito Nishioka
JapanCurrent form
Nishioka has not played a single match on clay this season. The most memorable performance of the Japanese this year was the tournament in Dallas, in which he managed to reach the quarterfinals - at this stage Yoshihito lost to Kasper Ruud.
Professional qualities
Nishioka looks much more confident on the hard court, where his speed and technique allow him to maximize his attacking potential. On the ground, the game is much more difficult for the Japanese — he does not like protracted draws and often rushes to complete the draws, which often leads to mistakes.
Current indicators in the tour
Nishioka has won three ATP titles in his career. The 29-year-old Japanese made the last of them last season, winning the open hard court in Atlanta. Yoshihito is currently ranked 74th in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
Nishioka withdrew from the last two matches.
Dusan Lajovic
SerbiaCurrent form
Lajovic made his way to the main draw in Rome through qualifying. In the qualifying, the Serb beat Ethan Quinn in three sets first, and then he also dealt with Cameron Norrie in three games. Dusan has 12 wins and eight losses on clay this season.
Professional qualities
Lajovic builds his game on the ground from the opponent. He prefers to fight on the back line, not forcing events, but waiting for the opponent's mistakes. One of his key tools is a one-handed backhand, especially effective diagonally. Dusan also actively uses cut and shortened punches, thereby adding variability to the draws. Nevertheless, the stability of the Serb often fails - in protracted matches, he may not have enough physical or mental stability to turn the tide of the meeting.
Current indicators in the tour
Lajovic won his last career title in 2023, winning the clay competition in Banja Luka. It was the second ATP title of his career for the 34-year-old Serb. Dusan is currently ranked 131st in the world rankings, although he was once 23rd in the world.
Interesting facts for betting
Lajovic's last three matches were played in three sets.
