Zizou Bergs vs Yoshihito Nishioka prediction

Zizou Bergs is aiming to push on during the clay swing after cracking the world’s top 50 for the first time. 

The Belgian failed to make it through qualifying in Monte Carlo but a quarter-final run in Munich puts him in positive mood ahead of his clash with Yoshihito Nishioka.

The Japanese has lost three of his last four matches and will be featuring in his first outing on the dirt in 2025, making this a tough draw for the world number 74.

Bergs is more comfortable on the clay and he should come through this one without too many issues.
