Taro Daniel and Yoshihito Nishioka will face each other in the round of 16 of the 2022 ATP Korea Open on Thursday, September 29.
Yoshihito Nishioka advanced to the second round in Seoul by defeating Dan Evans for the sixth time in as many matches (3-0 in 2022). He missed a lot of opportunities in the second set, but that did not harm him because he won the tiebreaker, 6-2 7-6. The revival of the Asian swing might assist the top-ranked Japanese player, who has a history of dominating tennis in East Asia, move up the rankings. In this region of the world, he has won three Challenger titles. Four years ago, he won his only ATP victory in an East Asian tournament in Shenzhen after entering as a qualifier and defeating players like Denis Shapovalov and Cameron Norrie.
Emilio Gomez was defeated by Taro Daniel in the first round earlier this week with ease. In both sets, he took an early lead and never seemed in danger, winning 6-4 6-4. The Japanese player hasn’t been producing at nearly the same level as he did in the early goings of the 2022 campaign, and he’d be looking for a strong showing on this Asian trip to jumpstart his season. At this level, he hasn’t advanced past the second round since reaching the quarterfinals in Belgrade back in April.
