ATP Washington

Cobolli F. - Nishioka Y.

đź§  Form & Context

Flavio Cobolli
🌟 2025 has been a breakout campaign for the 22-year-old Italian, who broke into the top XX and reached finals on both clay (Bucharest, Hamburg) and hard (Washington 2024).
🧱 While his record on hard courts this season is modest (4–8), he has gained confidence on faster surfaces, especially after a solid grass run to Wimbledon QFs.
🎾 Coming off a tight straight-sets win over Félix Auger-Aliassime in R1, he looks motivated to defend his runner-up points from last year.

Yoshihito Nishioka
🩹 After a long string of injuries and retirements, the Japanese lefty is showing signs of recovery. He beat Jenson Brooksby in R1 in three sets—just his fourth hard-court win of the year.
📉 His 2025 has been extremely disrupted: shoulder issues, mid-match retirements, and early Slam exits have dominated the season.
🔄 Still, when healthy, Nishioka remains a crafty, quick baseliner capable of frustrating opponents with pace absorption and consistency.

🔍 Match Breakdown
This is the third meeting between the two since 2024, and they’ve split the first two: Cobolli won in Miami, Nishioka in Los Cabos. Both wins were fairly one-sided, suggesting whoever gets a foothold early tends to dominate.

Cobolli is the more explosive of the two, with heavier groundstrokes and a serve that’s becoming more reliable under pressure. However, his inconsistency on hard courts and occasional lapses in concentration could open the door for Nishioka—especially if the match turns scrappy.

The key will be how much Nishioka has left in the tank physically. He looked fit enough against Brooksby, but his recent history of mid-match retirements makes any long encounter a risk. Cobolli, on the other hand, is riding a confidence wave from recent Slam and ATP runs and has far more momentum on his side.

đź”® Prediction
If Cobolli keeps his aggression in check and doesn’t fall into long rallies, he should be able to dictate play. Nishioka’s form and fitness still leave too many question marks to back him confidently.
