Yoshihito Nishioka vs Andrey Rublev Prediction: the Winner is the Favorite

Prediction for the ATP Madrid match, which will take place on April 30th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The tournament in Madrid is his second clay one of the season. Before that, Nishioka played twice in Barcelona, where he beat Goffin in two games but lost in three sets to Sinner. In Madrid, Nishioka had one match struggling to beat Molchan in two hours and 24 minutes. He gave the first set with a score of 5-7 but won the next two, 6-4, 6-4. Nishioka made four aces and zero double faults and won 68% on the first serve and 64% on the second. Reception stats: 34%/53%, winners/unforced errors 44/10.

Rublev won the Monte Carlo Masters. Also, he reached the Banja Luka finals but failed in three sets to Lajovic. In Madrid, Rublev defeated Wawrinka in two sets. The match lasted one hour and 23 minutes, 7-5, 6-4. Rublev fired nine times and made no doubles errors, winning 88% of first-serve points and 48% of second. Reception stats: 33%/71%, winners/unforced errors 28/3. Note that Rublev made only three errors against Wawrinka, an impressive figure.

It is difficult to regard Nishioka as a strong clay player. For example, he had only seven clay matches failing five last season. Rublev, on the other hand, feels comfortable on the clay. Nishioka may be an uncomfortable match for Andrey, but we believe he will have no problem advancing to the next round. Also, Rublev could try to take revenge on Nishioka for his defeat in Washington last August.
