Svajda and Nishioka are on the Day 1 Schedule at Atlanta Open 2024 on Monday 22 July 2024. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.
Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
[Z] Zachary Svajda (USA) will face Yoshihito Nishioka (JPN) for the first time. Svajda is 21 years old and currently ranked 115th in the world, with a career-high ranking of 113th. In 2024, he has a record of 1-3 and reached the second round in Delray Beach. This will be his debut appearance in Atlanta.
Svajda earned his first ranking point at the age of 15 in 2018 and broke into the top 200 in September 2023 after winning his second Challenger title in Cary. He achieved his career-high ranking in July 2024. As an 18-year-old wild card, he defeated Cecchinato for his first tour-level win at the 2021 US Open. In his tour-level debut at the 2019 US Open as a 16-year-old wild card, he squandered a 2-set lead against Lorenzi, becoming the youngest player to compete at the event since Young in 2005. Svajda has a Challenger record of 56-40, with a 4-1 record in finals. His first Challenger title was won in 2022 at Tiburon, defeating Ben Shelton in the final. He earned wild cards for the US Open by winning the USTA Boys’ 18s National Championships in 2019 and 2021. Svajda lost to 2018 USTA Boys’ 18s champion Brooksby in the first round of the 2021 Cleveland Challenger and to 2017 USTA Boys’ 18s champion Kypson in the quarterfinals of the 2021 Wichita ITF. It is worth noting that Svajda aims to secure his fourth tour-level win of his career, and all three of his previous wins have
been on US hard courts, just like his four Challenger titles (2022 Tiburon, 2023 Cary-2, 2023 Tiburon, and 2023 Fairfield).
On the other hand, Yoshihito Nishioka is 28 years old and currently ranked 86th in the world, with a career-high ranking of 24th. In 2024, he has a record of 10-11, reaching the quarterfinals of Eastbourne. Nishioka has a record of 3-2 in Atlanta, with his best result being a semifinal appearance in 2016. He achieved his career-high ranking in June 2023 after reaching the fourth round of the 2023 Australian Open and Roland Garros for the first time in his career. Nishioka’s biggest career win came against No. 2 Ruud on his way to winning his second ATP Tour title at the 2022 Seoul tournament. He also saved two match points against Shapovalov to win his first title at the 2018 Shenzhen as a 171st-ranked qualifier. In 2020, Nishioka rallied from a set down three times to reach the final of Delray Beach and saved one match point against de Minaur to reach the final of Washington in 2022. Additionally, he defeated his compatriot and World No. 5 Nishikori on his way to the quarterfinals of the 2019 ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati as a qualifier.
Notably, Nishioka enters the tournament on a 17-match winning streak against players ranked outside the Top 100 at the tour-level. In Atlanta, he was a former semifinalist, losing to eventual champion Kyrgios in three sets.
