Roland Garros
The history of their head-to-head meetings won't play any role in the Nishioka-Purcell prediction since they haven't faced each other for a full five years.
Yoshihito Nishioka
The clay surface cannot be considered a comfortable court for the Japanese player. He demonstrates rather average play on it. For example, in the current season, Nishioka has played seven matches on this surface and has only managed to secure three victories. Despite all the challenges, Yoshihito managed to overcome the first-round hurdle here. However, he was fortunate with his opponent, as he faced Jeff Wolf. The American player also cannot boast of success on clay, so Nishioka defeated him in five sets.
Max Purcell
Max Purcell approached Roland Garros in excellent form. Recently, the Australian player reached the finals of two South Korean challengers, which allowed him to rise to the 68th position in the world rankings. Thanks to these achievements, he received a direct entry into the main draw of the major. In his opening match at Roland Garros, Max left no chances for Jordan Thompson. His compatriot was defeated in four sets. It seems that Purcell has prepared well for the tournament.
Prediction
It is unknown why Nishioka is considered a big favorite. Perhaps the players' positions in the rankings have influenced this perception. However, the Japanese player does not look convincing on clay, so we expect that Purcell will definitely give a tough fight to the favorite. We do not anticipate a quick conclusion to the match and believe it will be a close encounter. Our prediction is a total of over 36 games at odds of 1.76 at 1xBet. Let's not forget that Purcell has already defeated Nishioka on clay. At the moment, he is not significantly worse than the Japanese player, so we doubt that Yoshihito will have an easy victory. Prediction - Purcell with a handicap of (+5.5) games. This bet can be placed at odds of 1.74. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.76. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
