The upcoming tennis match presents a close contest, with both Tomic and Hijikata showcasing strengths in pivotal areas. Though their second serve performance shows negligible differences, Tomic's slight superiority in return game statistics could be a deciding factor.

Another aspect to consider is Tomic's consistent performance across matches over the last year, where he has accumulated more wins overall. However, Hijikata's superior performance in first serve returns could balance the scales.

Despite Hijikata facing higher-caliber opponents and demonstrating greater success in Challengers/ITF events, both players exhibit proficiency on hard surfaces, adding to the competitive nature of this match.

Factoring in the current data, Hijikata appears slightly favored to win, given his higher run against quality entrants and his impressive save rate for breakpoints.
