Kei Nishikori marked a winning return to the Houston Open and will be up against Christopher Eubanks next. They will face off in the second round, with a match against Mackenzie McDonald or Brandon Nakashima awaiting. We have a prediction for the match below.
These two will be meeting for the first time. Eighth seed at Houston, Nishikori is coming off a straight-sets win against qualifier Mitchell Krueger. That was his fourth win in five matches, and he has now compiled an 11-7 record for the season.
The first round win also stretched his recent good run on clay. The 35-year-old is on nine wins in the last 14 clay court matches.
Eubanks has advanced from the first round for the first time in Houston. He is making a fourth appearance at this main tour event and beating Rinky Hijikata in the first round marked his first win.
He did it in three sets and will hope to down another higher ranked player in the second round. It has been a torrid season for the American and the odds are stacked against him, having won just two of his last nine matches.
The 28-year-old is on a losing run, having compiled a 9-11 record thus far. He isn't a great performer on clay either, winning just three of the last 16 matches there.
