Command Analysis
Kei Nishikori
JapanCurrent form
Nishikori is trying to get back to her previous level, but at 35 it won't be easy. Nevertheless, the Japanese does not give up and is showing good results this season. At the beginning of the year, Kay managed to reach the finals of the Hong Kong tournament. Thanks to this, he rose to 64th place in the world ranking.
Last week, Nishikori managed to speak at the challenger in Phoenix. There, the Japanese reached the semifinals, removing Nardi, Kukushkin and Kobolli from his path. However, in the semifinals, he lost 3-6, 3-6 to Joao Fonseca.
Professional qualities
Nishikori has great technique and a rich arsenal of punches. At one time, Kay was considered one of the best tennis players on the tour, but injuries prevented him from truly reaching his potential.
Current indicators in the tour
At one time, Nishikori was the fourth racket of the world ranking, but now the Japanese has moved to 64th place. Recently, the representative of Japan has not been on the court too often..
Interesting facts for betting
Nishikori's best result at the Miami tournament is considered to be reaching the finals. It happened back in 2016. Lately, Kay hasn't gone beyond the third round.
Yoshihito Nishioka
JapanCurrent form
Miami is a test of strength for Nishioka, as he returns to the court after an injury. Having been injured in Delray Beach, the Japanese missed too much. The situation for Nishioka is really difficult. Missing a month is a serious blow to the training process and it is unknown how this will affect the actions of the Japanese.
Nishioka has not competed in recent tournaments and his playing form remains a mystery.
Professional qualities
The lack of a powerful serve is a serious problem for a Japanese tennis player. He cannot rely on this component of the game, and his main weapon is considered to be speed and lightning-fast movement around the court. Thanks to this, Yoshihito feels good on the hard drive.
Current indicators in the tour
Nishioka is Nishikori's neighbor in the ATP rankings and ranks 68th. However, his best result is considered to be the 24th line.
Interesting facts for betting
At the Miami tournament, Nishioka has never overcome the barrier of the third round. Last season, he sheathed his racket here at the start of the competition.
Trends
The Totalbetis more than 2.5 sets

1.681st setbet: total less than 9.5 games
In 3 of Nishioka's last 4 matches, there were no more than 9 games scored in the first set.
1.80Tip and bets
Nishikori has a lot of practice, because he played well last week in Phoenix. But Nishioka is a man of mystery who played his last match more than a month ago. In addition, do not forget that Yoshihito unsuccessfully performs in Miami. All this makes us doubt Nishioka's capabilities. Most likely, he will not be able to give battle to a more distinguished compatriot.
Our prediction is Nishikori with a handicap of (-2.5) games in 1.73
Bet on the total
It is possible that Nishioka will be able to win a number of games. This is a derby, so he will fight to the last. Most likely, the opponents will break the mark of 20.5 games.
The betting tip is a total of more than 20.5 games in 1.60
Tiebreak bet
In none of Nishikori's last four matches has a tie-break been played. Given the way the tennis players play, we doubt that things will turn out differently now.
Betting Tip — tiebreak - no for 1.65
