Kei Nishikori Player Overview
Kei Nishikori also has 4 wins in his last 10 matches, having lost to Rafael Jodar and Michael Zheng before a successful qualifying opener against Francisco Comesana. The average number of games in his matches is just over 23, but his sets won (44%) and games won (46%) figures are very close to his opponent's. The Japanese player shows a good level on serve - around 77% of service games won - but still concedes an equal number of bagel sets as he wins, just like Trungelliti.

⭐ Editor's prediction
Both players are in inconsistent form: they are winning roughly the same number of sets and showing similar results on serve and return.
