John Isner vs Yoshihito Nishioka Wimbledon Tennis Picks and Predictions 6/30/21

Yoshihito Nishioka and John Isner meet Wednesday in the first round of the 2021 tennis Wimbledon.

It’s been a struggle for Nishioka this year to say the least and he’s had major issues with his serve. In fact, Nishioka won just 45 percent of his service points in his last match. The lack of recent reps or success on grass court probably doesn’t help matters. Nishioka looks to make the second round of a grand slam for the fifth time in his last seven tries. Nishioka has lost his last four matches on grass court.

John Isner will play his first match since the third round of the French Open and has won seven of his last 10 matches overall. For Isner, the formula is the same for every tournament, and that’s hitting aces and holding serve. Isner isn’t the best returner in the world, but he puts so much pressure on his opponent with his ridiculous service game. However, Isner needs to avoid marathon matches to save energy for the later rounds. Isner Isner looks to make the second round of a grand slam for the ninth time in his last 11 tries. Isner hasn’t lost in the first round of Wimbledon since 2012. Isner has won five of his last six matches on grass court.
