Our Kei Nishikori vs Mariano Navone Prediction
Consistency has been the biggest issue for Nishikori at this point in his career. He just can’t follow up a strong performance with another. Mariano isn’t a great hard-court player but the 23-year-old Argentine has the tools to beat a big-name player. While the logical choice is Nishikori after a quarterfinal stint, I have a weird feeling that he will have an unexplainable lackluster performance against Navone as his inconsistency continues to plague him. Our betting prediction for Mariano Navone vs. Kei Nishikori: Back Navone to win, +260, at FanDuel.
