Yoshihito Nishioka vs Andrey Rublev: Paris Masters 2023 Preview, Schedule, Date, Form Guide, Head to Head, Live Streaming

Andrey Rublev faced a period of inconsistent performance in the middle of the year, mainly due to accumulating fatigue. However, he has recently returned to his usual high level of play. He came close to winning his second Masters title in Shanghai this month and reached the semifinals in Vienna last week, narrowly losing to the eventual champion. Currently ranked at a career-high #5 in the ATP rankings, the Russian has already secured his spot in Turin. His aim this week is to stay injury-free and maintain his momentum for the ATP Finals. Last year’s significant victories in Turin boosted his self-confidence, aiding him in important matches and tournaments this year. Despite being a strong and consistent player on indoor hard courts, Rublev has yet to make a significant impact at the Paris Masters. In five attempts, he hasn’t reached the quarterfinals, with three of those campaigns ending in the opening round.

Yoshihito Nishioka, a qualifier, has displayed an impressive performance at the Paris Masters, winning three matches, including two hard-fought three-set victories, to advance to the second round. Notably, he faced a defeat in the second round of this tournament in 2022 at the hands of Carlos Alcaraz, and now he’s up against another top-10 player. Nishioka’s current track record against top-10 players is less favorable, as he’s on a six-match losing streak, with a winless record of 0-4 in 2023. Furthermore, he has struggled to secure consecutive wins in the main draw of Masters tournaments since Miami 2022. These challenges emphasize the tough competition he faces in the upper echelons of the tennis world and the need to break the streak of losses against top-ranked opponents.
