The Australian, Rinky Hijikata, and his American rival, Brandon Holt, will square off for the fifth time in the final qualification game for the ATP 250 at Hangzhou. Who will walk off into the knockout stages by taking the lead in their H2H? Find out in our Rinky Hijikata vs Brandon Holt match prediction.

Rinky Hijikata and Brandon Holt have met four times, and each player has won two of their H2Hs. But what we found interesting is their tendency to go the distance when they meet. In their last three meetings, the game has finished in three sets, and we expect this one to finish that way.

And their recent form only backs this bet. Both players have allowed sets in way too many games to ignore. For Hijikata, he’s won only three of his last nine singles and allowed at least one set in seven of those games. Even his recent qualification victory as the favourite saw him concede a set to Christopher Eubanks.​

Likewise, Brandon Holt has also allowed a set in seven of his last nine singles, and he has only managed three wins in that span. Even going back a bit, we see that Holt has allowed a set in 13 of his last 19 outings. His recent qualifying straight-sets victory against Ye Chen was the outlier, and it wasn’t surprising given his 1.06 odds to win that game.
