THE PREDICTION
Without Kei Nishikori Japan might have been apprehensive coming into the ATP Cup but both Go Soeda and Yoshihito Nishioka have played brilliantly to beat higher-ranked opponents to bring Japan within possibly one match of claiming a runners-up spot. They could fall at the final hurdle, though, as it is difficult to see them taking anything off Spain, especially in this match against the world number one. Rafa Nadal will be aiming for damage limitation, but Nishioka can put up some fight in the Spaniard’s straight-sets win.
