Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Rinky Hijikata prediction
Felix Auger-Aliassime will expect to have too much firepower for Rinky Hijikata.
The Canadian missed his home Masters event and came up short in Cincinnati, but his exceptional consistency overall across the past year or so has shifted him into the top four.
Hijikata can play some eye-catching tennis but the fearsome process of FAA’s serve and plus-one forehand should be too good for the world number 85, who is a couple of wins away from recording his best season to-date in terms of victories.
Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Rinky Hijikata tip: Felix Auger-Aliassime to win 3-0
