Zizu Bergs as Yoshihito Nishioka. Prediction for the ATP Madrid match

Bergs and Nishioka will meet in the first round of the Masters in Madrid on April 24. Nishioka is just getting ready to discover the dirt part of the season - he has not played a single match on this surface yet this year. Considering that the ground is not a profile surface for the Japanese, and his game as a whole is not impressive this season, it is hardly worth expecting any special achievements from him in Madrid. What should I bet on in this confrontation? - find out in our betting tip

Command Analysis

Zizou Bergs

Current form
Bergs has two wins and two losses on clay this season. Last week, Zizou took part in a tournament in Munich, where he managed to reach the quarterfinals - at this stage he lost to Fabian Marojan.
Professional qualities
Bergs is a player with a versatile playing style, capable of showing decent results on various types of surfaces, including the ground. The Belgian prefers an active style of play - he often goes to the net and completes the draws with aggressive actions. Despite this, he still lacks stability for regular victories over rivals from the top of the world rankings. In matches against strong opponents, Zizu often loses concentration, which prevents him from progressing.
Current indicators in the tour
Bergs won on clay in Tallahassee last season. It was the 12th title of the 25-year-old Belgian's career. Zizu is currently in 50th place in the world ranking.
Interesting facts for betting
9 of Bergs' last 10 matches were played in two sets.

Yoshihito Nishioka

Current form
Nishioka has not played a single match on clay this season. Yoshihito had four wins and seven losses on clay courts last season.
Professional qualities
Nishioka is a typical representative of defensive tennis, compensating for the lack of physical strength with excellent tactical thinking and variety in the arsenal. He skillfully varies the tempo, using sliced and twisted punches, as well as precise strokes, which often become key moments in draws. However, the lack of power limits the Japanese's ability to compete against more physically fit players.
Current indicators in the tour
Nishioka is currently ranked 74th in the world, although it was once 24th in the world. The 29-year-old Japanese has won three ATP titles in his career. He scored one of them last season by winning an open hard court tournament in Atlanta.
