THE PREDICTION
27-year-old Yoshihito Nishioka is in the form of his career right now and the Japanese number one will set a new career-high ATP world ranking of around 34th after beating Mackenzie McDonald in straight sets. Nishioka started the week by stunning the fifth seed, Holger Rune, in the Dane’s first match back since beating Novak Djokovic at the Paris Masters and it has taken top 30 players to oust him from his last four tournaments since winning the Korea Open in October. World number 120 Alexei Popyrin grabbed the shock of the week in Adelaide, though, in a straight-sets result over second-seed Felix Auger-Aliassime on Monday. The 23-year-old took just five tour wins last season in a woeful year after plenty of promise in 2021 but a comeback victory over Marcos Giron on Wednesday says he will be competitive in this first meeting. This should be a fun match between two contrasting styles but Nishioka’s trickery is fine-tuned right now and he can be backed to edge through to the semi-finals.
