Nishioka vs Ymer Key Stats
Nishioka has had a decent career graph since turning pro in 2014 and has recorded 97-111 wins and losses in his career. He has one singles title to his name. It can also be said that last year was his best, as he achieved the most wins in a single calendar year during 2022.
Ymer, after turning pro in 2015, has remained on the scene and has recorded 63 wins and 67 losses in his career. As a player, he achieved his greatest success last year with 23 wins, thus indicating his rise. However, a singles trophy is still missing from his cabinet.
Nishioka vs Ymer Betting Prediction
Nishioka has played big tournaments regularly and has all the experience of being a seasoned campaigner. He had his best last season and has performed consistently well after, which makes him well-prepared for the upcoming game.
Ymer did well last season but will be cautious in this game, given the context it holds. Having fought hard to be placed in the first round, he will be very well aware of the weaknesses and has to be at his best to beat the superior pro in this game.
With all the experience to exploit, we can see Nishioka doing well in this game. Though the game can stretch a little more due to the quality his opponent possesses, we should see him doing enough to take the lead and win.
