THE PREDICTION
World number two Casper Ruud is occasionally found wanting in his opening matches at tournaments but the Norwegian will be the better for a choppy three-set battle with Nicolas Jarry on Thursday. The 23-year-old finished runner-up to Carlos Alcaraz at the US Open twice this season at the Miami Open and more recently the US Open, as well as Rafael Nadal at Roland-Garros. World number 56 Yoshihito Nishioka has found some impressive form again after recently producing a career-best run to the Citi Open final last month. The 27-year-old is yet to drop a set this week after continuing his one-way streak against Dan Evans and then ousting Taro Daniel on Thursday. Ruud beat Nishioka in straight sets in their only previous meeting but the Japanese should not be underestimated at this moment in time. The sensible option is taking the top seed to win outright with Nishioka well capable of making this awkward.
