Kei Nishikori vs Felix Auger Alisssime: Prediction
Nishikori has the experience to beat the Canadian player, as he’s done it in the past. However, from the previous time they’ve faced each other, Felix has raised his level of gameplay, whereas Kei has been out of match practice for a considerable amount of time.
Felix had quite an impressive showing at the Australian Open, and Nishikori’s display had a lot left to be desired. Hence, taking recent events into consideration, the 20-year-old Canadian should beat the Japanese player when they meet on Monday at the Rotterdam Open 2021.
