Japanese star Yoshihito Nishioka continues to advance in the ATP Atlanta tournament. He makes it to the quarter final stage and he is going to play against Frances Tiafoe. Yoshihito had met Frances four times in the past and lost 3 times. 

Yoshihito played his last match against Mackenzie McDonald in the round of 16 stage and he won in straight sets by a 3-6,4-6 score. In the previous round, Yoshihito defeated Zachary Svajda in straight sets also. 

The momentum is surely behind American tennis player Frances Tiafoe and he is the favorite to advance through the quarter final round ahead of Yoshihito Nishioka. Frances has a solid record against Nishioka, as he had defeated the Japanese on three occasions and lost just once. 

Frances Tiafoe also had a good win in the round of 16 stage against Aslan Karatsev and he fought hard to win in 3 sets. The score of the match was 4-6,6-3,6-3. Frances Tiafoe will now go head-to-head with Nishioka and he hopes to further strengthen his dominance over the Japanese.

We foresee a tight contest between both players despite the current ranking and the h2h which obviously favors Frances Tiafoe. And it will be decided on each player’s style and court surface preferences.

Yoshihito Nishioka relies on his agility, baseline consistency, counterpunching ability but he seems to lack enough power while Frances Tiafoe relies on his powerful groundstrokes, athleticism and aggressive play. In terms of court surfaces, both players excel on the hard court surface but Tiafoe’s power gives him an edge on this surface.
