Command Analysis
Yoshihito Nishioka
JapanCurrent form
Nishioka reached the quarterfinals of the Dallas competition with a strong-willed victory over Francis Tiafoe (3-6, 6-4, 6-3). Yoshihito scored seven aces, made three break points, and lost two games on his serve against the Americans. In the first round, the Japanese also dealt with the American - he beat Brandon Nakashima.
Professional qualities
Nishioka is a Japanese tennis player, known for his high speed of movement on the court, excellent endurance and ability to act effectively in defense. He has a good reception, stable shots from the back line and demonstrates tactical flexibility, adapting to the opponent's style of play. Despite his short stature, Yoshihito makes up for this disadvantage with fast movements around the court and precise, measured strokes. However, his shots often lack power, which creates certain difficulties for him in matches against athletically stronger opponents with powerful serve and aggressive style of play.
Current indicators in the tour
Nishioka is currently ranked 67th in the world. Last season, the Japanese won the tournament in Atlanta, which was held on an open hard court. In total, Yoshihito has won 16 trophies in his career, three of which are in the ATP category.

NorwayCurrent form
Ruud beat Michael Mmo (6-1, 6-4) in the second round of the tournament in Dallas. During the match against the American, Kasper made seven aces, made four break points and lost one game on his serve. The Norwegian defeated James Duckworth in three games in the first round.
Professional qualities
Ruud, a primer by style, is making significant strides on fast surfaces, significantly improving his impact strength.
