Final Prediction: Andy Murray to win in three sets
Kei Nishikori v Andrey Rublev
It is another fascinating match that fans will have their eyes on. Former World No.5 Kei Nishikori will be playing at his home against Andrey Rublev. Even though Rublev is not enjoying some great form at the moment, he surely has got a great forehand that can cause some trouble to the Japanese player. The match will begin at 11:00 a.m local time in Tokyo.

As of now, Nishikori leads the head-to-head battle 1-0. Their only meeting came at the Cincinnati Masters 2018, where Nishikori crushed the Russian in straight sets.
Final Prediction: Andrey Rublev to win in straight sets
Stefanos Tsitsipas v Philipp Kohlschreiber
After ending as the runner-up of the French Open 2021, Stefanos Tsitsipas hasn’t been able to play some great tennis. He got eliminated from the first round of the Wimbledon Championships 2021 and then didn’t even play well at the German Open 2021.
In such a situation, this might prove to be a golden opportunity for Philipp Kohlschreiber to beat him if he targets his backhand consistently. The match will begin at 11:00 a.m local time in Tokyo.

Tsitsipas currently has a 2-0 head-to-head lead over Kohlschreiber. Both their previous meetings came on the hard court in 2018, where the Greek player emerged as the winner.
Final Prediction: Stefanos Tsitsipas to win in straight sets
Alexander Zverev v Lu Yen-hsun
Fourth-seeded Alexander Zverev will be up against 37-year-old Lu Yen-Hsun. The German has delivered some quite exceptional performances this year and will continue to play like that. The match will begin at 11:00 a.m local time in Tokyo.

Their head-to-head battle currently stands at 1-1. While Lu defeated Zverev at the Rogers Cup in 2016, the World No.5 player thrashed Lu at the Miami Open 2017.
Final Prediction: Alexander Zverev to win in straight sets
Marton Fucsovics v Hubert Hurkacz
Both Marton Fucsovics and Hubert Hurkacz played really well at the Wimbledon Championships 2021. While the former reached the quarters, Hurkacz defeated Roger Federer in the quarters but eventually lost in the semis. Thus, it’ll be interesting to see who wins the contest and who bites the dust. The match will begin at 11:00 a.m local time in Tokyo.
