Command Analysis
Yoshihito Nishioka
JapanCurrent form
Nishioka beat Alex Bolt (6-2, 7-6) in the first round of qualifying for the Brisbane tournament. In the match against the Australian, Yoshihito served six aces, converted two break points and did not lose a single game on his serve.
Professional qualities
Nishioka is an interesting representative of modern tennis, whose style is distinguished by the absence of powerful strokes, but is compensated by excellent spin of the ball. His two-handed backhand is one of the best in the top 50. The Japanese masterfully carries out counterattacks, unexpectedly switching from defense to attack. However, the lack of penetrating power affects his stability. Despite his tactical intelligence, Yoshihito weak character often becomes his vulnerability: in unsuccessful moments, he loses control of the game, which has happened more than once in his career.
