THE PREDICTION

World number 38 Yoshihito Nishioka won his second ATP title at the Korea Open this time last season and he could be one of the main benefiters from a first full Asian swing on tour since 2019. The 28-year-old finished runner-up to Karen Khachanov at the Zhuhai Championships last week with some strong results over Aslan Karatsev and Jan-Lennard Struff before a solid run to the round of 16 in Beijing was ended by sixth seed Jannik Sinner. World number 49 Daniel Altmaier failed to qualify for the China Open in his first tournament since the US Open, although a four-set defeat to Alexander Zverev in New York was impressive away from his favoured clay. The 25-year-old stunned the aforementioned Sinner in five sets at Roland-Garros in June to prove himself a threat on the slower surface but there is still room for improvement in these conditions. Nishioka should enjoy a strong support as the Asian player here but the conditions suit him better in any case. Back the Japanese to win outright.
