His surface strength index stands at 6.48, indicating solid clay court performance, while his mean serve index is 97.43, showcasing his serving capabilities.

The contrasting results indicate Nishikori might be struggling to find his rhythm, while Tien appears to have some momentum despite his recent loss.

Final Prediction

Learner Tien holds a slight edge in this matchup largely due to his superior return index and recent performance trends, which could prove pivotal on the clay surface. A key factor to watch will be how effectively both players can capitalize on their service games, particularly Nishikori's serve against Tien's strong return capabilities.
