THE PREDICTION
26-year-old Yoshihito Nishioka shaved 42 places off his world ranking last weekend after a stupendous run to the Citi Open final in Washington, where he finished runner-up to Nick Kyrgios. The Japanese has endured 12 months to forget on tour but five-straight wins over top 40 players including world number eight Andrey Rublev sees him enter Montreal just six places behind his career-high ATP world ranking of 48th. Nishioka has drawn a long straw here against former world number 18 Benoit Paire, with the Frenchman taking a woeful 4-20 record for 2022 into the first round of the Canada Masters. 33-year-old Paire is an unsolvable enigma on tour right now, possessing all the skills and experience to coast back into the top 40 if he could rediscover his confidence, or something like confidence. The current world number 104 qualified well this weekend, though, and with Nishioka coming off a huge emotional effort it would not be a surprise to see this match the coupon buster of the round. Back Nishioka to win outright but leave this one well away from an accumulator.
