Yoshihito Nishioka vs Brandon Nakashima Prediction

Yoshihito Nishioka has had a mixed start to 2025 and he will be hoping to find some consistency and form in Dallas this week.

The Japanese number one comes off an Australian Open campaign where he was brutally swept aside by Carlos Alcaraz in a match where he only managed to win five games across the three sets. 

He now comes to Dallas and face a tricky first-round encounter against talented American Brandon Nakashima.

Nakashima has not enjoyed the best of starts to 2025 with just one win on the ATP Tour from three events he has participated in. in fairness, he has had some tough matches and opponents but he will have expected to have done better.

He returns to the home comforts in the States and he will be hoping to get a win or two under his belt this week. This is not an easy opening match however and far from a formality for him. He is favoured but only just and while we marginally prefer him to win, we lean towards game betting in this one.
