Kei Nishikori is back in action after taking a break following his second-round retirement at the Houston Open. At the Madrid Masters, he will restart his season’s quest with a match against Aleksandar Vukic, with the winner meeting Denis Shapovalov. Below we have a prediction.
Vukic is making his second appearance here; in 2024 he couldn’t get past the opening round, losing to Taro Daniel in three sets. This season, he has suffered eight first-round defeats, and his best has been getting to the Australian Open third round.
In his latest outing, he lost 2-1 to Billy Harris at the Munich Open. That was his ninth straight defeat.
Kei Nishikori’s last act was also a loss, though his was through retirement. He pulled off in the opening set against Christopher Eubanks in the Houston Open second round.
He has been three weeks out of action, and the Japanese player will be eyeing a fitter run this time. In his last eight matches, he posted wins. Before Houston, he tried his hand at the Phoenix Challenger, going all the way to the semi-finals.
Here he comes into his third match on clay this season and holds a 1-1 record on that surface. Overall, Nishikori has compiled an 11-8 record.

Our Aleksandar Vukic vs Kei Nishikori Prediction
Kei Nishikori’s only concern coming into this game should be his health and fitness. Three weeks ago in Houston, he had to pull out early, and he is just marking his return. He gets reintroduced to the court against a player who has been struggling all year so far, and this should be a kinder welcome.
Vukic lost all of his nine matches and will be gunning for a return to winning ways here. He rarely goes without winning at least a set, and we are backing him here too. Our prediction for Aleksandar Vukic v Kei Nishikori is for Nishikori to win in three sets.
