ATP Tour veteran Kei Nishikori of Japan will set off his campaign against Mariano Navone of Argentina on Tuesday at Rothesay International in Eastbourne, United Kingdom. Nishikori, the two-time Wimbledon Open quarterfinalist, hope for a better result in Eastbourne as he guns for his first career grass-court tournament title. The Rothesay International will be Nishikori’s first tournament since exiting in the second round of the French Open weeks ago. The 34-year-old Japanese hasn’t captured a title or even reached the finals since winning the Brisbane International in 2019. Meanwhile, Navone looks to get his feet wet in this Wimbledon Open warmup tourney. Seeded No.6, the Argentine is still gunning for his first career ATP Tour title after runner-up finishes in Rio de Janeiro and Romania early this year. The 23-year-old Navone is playing in his second grass-court tournament as he already competed and lost to Jack Draper of Great Britain 6-3 6-2 in the first round of the Queens Championship.

Our Mariano Navone vs Kei Nishikori Prediction
Nishikori will try to use his vast experience in his first ever match against a springy and explosive Navone. BetMGM still views Nishikori as the better player on paper, listing him at -175. But Navone is a young player on the rise for a reason. He’s the first player to make a main draw Grand Slam debut as a seeded player after entering as the No.31 seed at the 2024 French Open. Nishikori has a 63 percent win rate in grass-court matches while Navone boasts an impressive 71.4 percent win rate in the ATP Tour and ITF Circuit. In this match, though it’s tempting to place your money on the young gun, the logical pick here remains Nishikori who has gone through so many grass court battles in the past while Navone hasn’t won a single grass-court match in his career. Our betting prediction for Kei Nishikori vs. Mariano Navone: Nishikori wins 2-0, +135, at BetMGM.
