Grigor Dimitrov vs Yoshihito Nishioka Analysis
Dimitrov Performance Recap and Analysis
Dimitrov received a bye into the second round so he has yet to play in the Italian Open. He’s 22-7 this season and broke into the top-10 in the world rankings for the first time in 10 years. That’s because of his impressive results early in the season. He reached the finals at the Brisbane International, Open 13 Provence, and Miami Open. He was runner-up in each of those events.
Dimitrov’s play has regressed a bit since reaching the finals in Miami. He’s 2-2 since then and coming off of a tough three-set loss in the Round of 64 at the Mutua Madrid Open. Fortunately, for the Dimitrov betting pick, he is 2-0 in his career against Nishioka, winning both matches in straight sets.
Key Injuries
Dimitrov hasn’t had any injury concerns this year and should be healthy heading into the Dimitrov vs. Nishioka betting prediction.
Betting Trends to Know
- Dimitrov won both matches in the Nishioka betting odds in straight sets with both under the 19.5 total for their Italian Open match.
- Dimitrov is 2-2 on clay this year and was 10-5 last year.
Nishioka Performance Recap and Analysis
Nishioka earned a spot in the second round of the Italian Open with an upset 6-3, 2-6, 7-6 (4) win over Sebastian Ofner in the first round. His tennis stats for the match included one ace, one double fault, winning 66 and 65 percent of points on first and second serve, and winning 2-of-5 breakpoint opportunities.
The 28-year-old Japanese veteran is 9-11 this season. It’s one of his worst years by record since he went 19-26 in 2021. Nishioka, a former world No. 24, was 44-25 in 2022 and 23-22 last year.
Key Injuries

- He was 5-5 on clay in 2023.
Grigor Dimitrov vs Yoshihito Nishioka Betting Picks
- Moneyline: Dimitrov shouldn’t have much problem beating Nishioka considering his resurgence this year. He’s also the superior clay court player, although at -850 his moneyline odds aren’t all that enticing.
- Spread: Dimitrov is a -5.5 games favorite against Nishioka. He may have covered this in his last match against Nishioka, but that’s a big number to cover. Nishioka at +5.5 (-110) is the safer bet.
- Over/Under: Nishioka should have something to prove here after only winning one game in his last meeting against Dimitrov. Take the over 19.5 total.
Grigor Dimitrov vs Yoshihito Nishioka Prediction
In the upcoming tennis match between Grigor Dimitrov and Yoshihito Nishioka, the prediction suggests betting on the total game count to exceed 19.5, with odds at -115.
