Match Analysis

Yoshihito Nishioka is currently ranked 151, with a form index of 5.99 and an Elo rating of 823.10. His surface strength index is a respectable 7.95, but his mean serve index of 96.80 and return index of 86.28 indicate he may struggle against stronger opponents. Luciano Darderi, on the other hand, boasts a much higher rank of 30, an Elo rating of 1199.47, and a form index of 49.46. Both players have a similar surface strength index, but Darderi's mean serve index of 95.27 is slightly lower than Nishioka's, though the difference is not significant. However, their return index shows a minor gap, with Darderi at 85.87, which is still competitive. When reviewing their recent performances, Nishioka has faced a tough stretch, losing all three of his last matches, including a challenging bout against Frances Tiafoe at the US Open. Darderi, while also experiencing some defeats, secured a win against Eliot Spizzirri but struggled against top player Carlos Alcaraz. His recent matches indicate resilience, even in losses, which could give him a psychological edge in this upcoming clash.

Final Prediction

Luciano Darderi's higher ranking and Elo rating, alongside a more favorable recent performance, provide him with a distinct advantage heading into this match. A key factor to monitor will be the effectiveness of Darderi's return game, particularly against Nishioka's serve, as it could dictate the flow of the match.
