Frances Tiafoe vs Yoshihito Nishioka prediction
Frances Tiafoe comes into his home slam in form after a productive summer swing on the hard courts. He reached the Washington Open quarter-finals and backed that up with fourth-round finishes in Toronto and Cincinnati. He raises his game at the US Open and got through to the semi-finals in 2022 and 2024.
Yoshihito Nishioka is without a win in his last five matches, with his last victory coming in round one of the Washington Open. The Japanese has struggled with fitness all year and that has contributed to a very poor season with 16 defeats from 26 matches.
The head-to-head is 3-2 in favour of Tiafoe and he leads 2-1 on outdoor hard court. Tiafoe will be raring to go in front of a boisterous home crowd and will likely feed off their energy as he begins his campaign.
Given the player’s recent trajectories and the American’s greater Grand Slam pedigree, especially at this tournament, we can’t see anything other than a three set win.
Frances Tiafoe vs Yoshihito Nishioka tip: Frances Tiafoe to win 3-0
