Command Analysis

Frances Tiafoe

Professional qualities
Tiafoe is an attacking tennis player with a powerful topspin forehand who often confuses opponents due to his relaxed style. His main weapon is a pitch, which can reach a speed of 225 km/h. Despite his effectiveness in attacking from the right, he lacks confidence in reception, and his second serve remains a vulnerable spot. Francis' backhand is also good, especially when he manages to enter the court.
Current indicators in the tour
Tiafoe is the 18th racket of the world. Francis was once in the top 10 in the world rankings. The American has won ten trophies during his career, including three in the ATP category. He won his last title in 2023 on the grass courts of Stuttgart.

In the confrontation with the American, Yoshihito made three aces, made one break point and did not lose a single game on his serve. It was the seventh victory for the Japanese this season, with three losses.
Professional qualities
Nishioka is a counter—attacking player who relies on technique and tactical thinking. Despite the lack of outstanding physical characteristics, he defends himself perfectly, competently changes the pace of the game.

The main disadvantage of the Japanese is the lack of strength in serving and hitting from the back line.
