He takes on veteran David Goffin who ran away with the third set in his first round match but will face a stiff challenge from the defense of the Japanese. Expect Nishioka to come out on top after a tight battle.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Nishioka in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"WDmqyMonR1R9dsaR06IUew\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1476342094\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'WDmqyMonR1R9dsaR06IUew',sig:'sRXmBlosSJHwgwxS5OQ6zupX9-xgM2Jdn2_fBzK8dv0=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1476342094',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Francisco Cerundolo vs Francesco Passaro<\/h4>\n<p>Head to head &#8211; First Meeting<\/p>\n<p>Francisco Cerundolo is into his favourite part of the year and it is this part of the year last time around where the Argentine broke through. He is seeded 15th here but he does face a stiff test in his opener. Francesco Passaro dominated Fernando Verdasco in his first round and the Italian looks to be solid but Cerundolo is young and brimming with confidence to not the feel the brunt here.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Cerundolo in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"bre54UXYTtNDMurfZEhsCQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1481815447\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'bre54UXYTtNDMurfZEhsCQ',sig:'NoFK4UKBkYQUQAEFTosIns0zSM4aJRe6iXLANdSE2BE=',w:'395px',h:'594px',items:'1481815447',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Jozef Kovalik vs Denis Shapovalov<\/h4>\n<p>Head to head &#8211; First Meeting<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2021\/08\/25\/jozef-kovalik-warsaw-challenger\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Jozef Kovalik<\/a> has done well to qualify but he faces the ever so talented Denis Shapovalov. The Canadian begins his tune up to Roland Garros and he should be very eager to do well this time around since he possesses everything needed to be a good player on this surface.
