In the quarterfinals of the ATP tournament in Tokyo, Nick Kyrgios from Australia will play against Taylor Fritz from the USA.

Taylor FritzThe 24-year-old representative of the USA is playing quite hard at the tournament in Japan, but so far he has managed to move forward on the grid.

Fritz started the tournament in Tokyo only the day before yesterday, in the 1/16 finals Taylor beat James Duckworth from Australia in three sets – 6:2; 6:7 (2:7); 6:1. And yesterday in the 1/8 finals Fritz beat Hiroki Moriya from Japan in three sets – 6:1; 3:6; 6:4. At the start of the match, Taylor immediately lost the game on his serve, but after that the American dramatically transformed and made three consecutive breaks. And after that, Fritz calmly served for the set. In the second set, both tennis players worked quite competently on their serves for a long time, but with the score 4:3 in their favor, Moriya was unexpectedly able to make a break, and after that Hiroki competently served for a set and equalized the match. At the very beginning of the decisive game, Fritz was able to make a break, but Taylor missed his advantage with a score of 40:0. As a result, the tennis players held their serve until the score was 4:3 in games in favor of the American, after that Moria and Fritz exchanged breaks. Taylor then made a second consecutive break and eventually closed the match in his favor. The tennis players spent two hours on the court.

Nick KyrgiosThe 27-year-old representative of Australia, in turn, also played a far from the best match yesterday.

In the 1/8 finals, Kyrgios was able to beat the modest Pole Kamil Maykhshak in the ATP rankings only in three sets – 3:6; 6:2; 6:2. The beginning of the match did not work out for Nick at all, he immediately lost a game on his serve and eventually settled for a score of 0:3 in games. Then Maykhshak worked competently on his serve and did not allow Kyrgios to win back in the set. In the second set, Kyrgios played much more steadily, and from the middle of the game Nick made two consecutive breaks and eventually confidently equalized the score in the match. At the start of the decisive game, Kyrgios immediately made a break, after that Nick worked competently on his serve and led the match to victory. And then when the score is 5:2 by games, Kyrgios made the second break and eventually won the match. The tennis players spent one hour and twenty-five minutes on the court.

Also yesterday, Nick Kyrgios in Japan successfully held another doubles match together with his compatriot Thanasi Kokkinakis. In the quarterfinals of the tournament, Kyrgios and Kokkinakis beat Spaniards Pedro Martinez and Bernabe Zapata-Miralles in two sets – 7:5; 6:4. The tennis players spent one hour and twenty minutes on the court.

Nick Kyrgios and Taylor Fritz played against each other on August 17 at the ATP tournament in Cincinnati. Then on the hard in the 1/16 finals, the American made a sensation and won a landslide victory in two sets – 6:3; 6:2.

ForecastIn this match, Nick Kyrgios is considered by the bookmakers to be a pretty clear favorite.

Now Fritz is acting quite unstable to talk about a sensation. However, there should be a good fight here, and therefore we suggest that you put more than 22.5 games on the total.
