Quarter Final 3: Kei Nishikori vs Stefanos Tsitsipas
After the high of Cincinnati Masters, Tsitsipas has had a dip in form. He has lost to much lower ranked players like Richard Berankis and Pierre-Hugues Herbert since then. But he seems to have rediscovered his mojo in Tokyo, his win over fellow next gen star Alex de Minaur must have made him feel good about his game again.
But unfortunately for him, he is running into the fit again home favourite Kei Nishikori. Kei, whose last title was way back in February at a Challenger level tournament in Dallas, seems determined to win an ATP tour title again. What better place to do it than in his home tournament!
Prediction: Nishikori in 2 Sets
