Yoshihito Nishioka vs John Isner: Prediction and Betting Tips

Yoshihito Nishioka with a tough first-round draw

Yoshihito Nishioka’s grass season started last week in Eastbourne where he lost his first-round match to Italian Andreas Seppi in two sets. That was a disappointing defeat for Nishioka considering Seppi hasn’t won a match in any of the ATP Tour events he played this year until Eastbourne. 

Nishioka has never won a match in Wimbledon losing all of his first-round matches in his three appearances. The Japanese is on a five-match losing streak on grass and he has a tough match to play in his opening round against big-serving John Isner against whom he lost his only match in Memphis in 2017.

Nishioka Key Stats

• Nishioka has played 25.3 games per match in Wimbledon in his career
• The average games per set played by Nishioka in Wimbledon is 9.64
• 63% is the points won by Nishioka on his first serve

John Isner favorite to advance to the second round

John Isner is seeded # 28 as he makes his 12th appearance in Wimbledon. The big-serving American posted his career-best result in slams by progressing to the semifinal here in 2018 and hasn’t faced a first-round exit here since losing to a left-handed opponent, Alejandro Falla, in five sets back in 2012 …

John Isner has won 50 matches and four titles on grass so far in his successful career. Notably, all those four title-winning campaigns came in his home event in Newport, recently in 2019.

The former American # 1 John Isner is unbeaten in the opening-round matches on the main tour this year (5-0), and he made it to the third round at the French Open earlier this month, which was also his only previous outing in slams this year and his most recent outing on the main tour.

Isner key points

• Isner has played 40 games per match in Wimbledon in 2019
• The average games per set played by Isner in 2019 was 10
• Isner has won 51% of the matches in his career in Wimbledon
• The average points won on Isner’s first serve is 80%

Yoshihito Nishioka vs John Isner Prediction

John Isner didn’t play on any grass tournament before Wimbledon this year. The American will rely on his experience and more importantly his serve. The 36-year-old has one of the best serves in Wimbledon history and it will be key for his advancement to the second round.

The only major threat Nishioka can pose for Isner is if he can attack Isner’s second serve and try to keep the American at the baseline.

We don’t think Isner will face much trouble as we predict his serve will be the dominant factor in the match and the Nishioka will have trouble in dealing with it.
