Nishioka got his first win of the season in the first round of this tournament, while Cressy has already qualified for the AO, where he won a match, and then followed that up with a win here. Despite the difference in ranking this match will be close and I expect Cressy to apply maximum pressure on serve. Nishioka is good enough from the baseline to respond, but it&#8217;s a coin flip that should come down to the wire. <strong>Nishioka in 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>Yuki Bhambri vs Matt Ebden<\/h4>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/978596432\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 67.34007% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/978596432?et=2MA6v_rVQcFj5wAM1Bzlag&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=NCdeNzV5mRi3HyLP_RZGu7U7WVzkrh_w4xXjtP6LH-4=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Yuki Bhambri was once a great hope for Indian tennis, but injuries <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olympicchannel.com\/en\/stories\/features\/detail\/yuki-bhambri-tennis-injury-india-olympics\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">derailed his career<\/a> and he&#8217;s played very little tennis over the last few seasons. The COVID pandemic ideally gave him some time to truly rest, recover, and revitalize his career though, and he has a winnable match against career journeyman Matt Ebden here. Ebden is capable but his ceiling is limited. With so little match play for Bhambri over the past seasons though, it&#8217;s hard to pick him until there&#8217;s more of a track record for where his game is at. <strong>Ebden in 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>Thai-Son Kwiatkowski vs Soon-Woo Kwon<\/h4>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1303259270\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.66667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/1303259270?et=wGUk-6cZT_xnoUpG-B3yhg&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=7HPZDVkQDmF2TpvNaECTdSmrmS3dwhG4eR1VKYfk9Fg=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Thai-Son Kwiatkowski immediately becomes the most accomplished tennis player to represent Vietnam after he <a href=\"https:\/\/e.vnexpress.net\/news\/sports\/american-tennis-player-acquires-vietnamese-citizenship-4239046.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">obtained citizenship<\/a> and plans to represent the country in in international competition. The opportunity to be a trailblazer for professional tennis in Vietnam won&#8217;t be lost on Kwiatkowski, but he will have to obtain a much higher ranking than 181 to make that happen. His opponent Soon-Woo Kwon has already obtained a top 70 ranking and has the same opportunity to help South Korean tennis reach new heights. Kwon is coming off a challenger title and has a h2h win, so he&#8217;s a strong favorite to advance from this match.<strong> Kwon in 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1303490426\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.66667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/1303490426?et=phcKQZlZQQdIDd5VeCb-xQ&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=oHUHPUoPpEM-fhTX6wLG7WBpKBntACK78qoNX3v2cOM=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ATP Singapore Open continues with some lesser known players, including some of Asia&#8217;s best taking to the courts.
