Our tip: Nishioka Y. – Rune H.: 2

28.09.2024 11:00

After reaching the semi-finals of the Masters in Cincinnati, Holger Rune believed he could sell his form in other tournaments. However, he lost in the first round to Brandon Nakashima at the US Open and then sensationally fell in two sets to Yasutaka Uchiyama, a member of the world’s second 100, in Hangzhou, China. For the Danish tennis player, who was already a world number four, it was a real ice shower and a sign that he urgently needs to change something. It was evident in his playing style in the first round in Tokyo, where he faced the dangerous Alejandro Tabil. Rune was more patient in the exchanges and it paid off, winning in three sets.

This will allow him to challenge the home team’s Yoshihito Nishioki, who for a change defeated Felix Auger-Aliassime in three sets, in the eighth round. The Japanese tennis player, who lost in the eighth round in Hangzhou, China, last week and before that finished, like Rune, in the opening round of the US Open, is one of the tennis players who can shine at some tournaments in the season and otherwise is rather average. The long-term instability of results is the reason why he hasn’t been able to stay in the world’s elite top 30, where he has been able to get a glimpse.

What to bet on:

The duel between Nishioka and Rune will be interesting. On the one hand a home hope, on the other a bit of a rebel who could be a star of men’s tennis one day if he doesn’t waste his potential. Rune will go through to the next round from the eight-final match, which is quite interesting odds.

Confidence:

8/10
