Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

Kei Nishikori of Japan and Learner Tien of the USA are set to have their first meeting at the Tennis Club de Geneve in Geneva, Switzerland from May 18 to 24, 2025. Nishikori, aged 35 and ranked World No. 62, reached a career-high of World No. 4 in 2015. He made history by defeating World No. 1 Djokovic at the 2014 US Open to become the first Asian Grand Slam men’s singles finalist. His tennis achievements include winning 12 ATP Tour titles, being a six-time ATP 500 champion, a four-time ATP Masters 1000 finalist, a four-time Nitto ATP Finals qualifier, and winning a bronze medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Nishikori also holds notable records such as the highest winning percentage among active players in deciding sets and third-highest winning percentage in fifth sets. This will be Nishikori’s second appearance in Geneva, with his previous participation in 2017 where he lost in the semifinals to M. Zverev. He aims to secure his biggest win on clay since defeating World No. 25 Khachanov at the 2021 Roland Garros.

Learner Tien, aged 19 and ranked World No. 67, achieved a career-high of World No. 66 in March 2025. He broke into the Top 200 in August 2024 and the Top 100 in January 2025. Tien notably upset World No. 5 Medvedev at the Australian Open and qualified for the 2024 Next Gen ATP Finals. He went on a 28-match winning streak in 2024, captured multiple ITF Tour titles, and won the 2024 US Open Wild Card Challenge.

Tien aims to become the youngest main draw winner in Geneva since 18-year-olds Cazaux and Stricker in 2021. Last week in Rome, he secured his first ATP Tour win on clay by defeating countryman Opelka before bowing out to Machac in the second round. Tien looks to join the list of teenage main draw winners in Geneva this century, with his attempt to make an impact at just 19 years and 5 months of age.
