R. Hijikata

Player Overview

R. Hijikata has carved out a respectable career with a win percentage hovering around 58.4%. His current form over the last two years shows a win rate of 53.7%, indicating he’s been consistent but not exceptional. With an Elo rating of 1993, he ranks lower than many of his peers, particularly on hard courts where he has a 1909 rating. Hijikata's serve is solid, but he struggles to capitalize on second serves, winning just over half of those points.

In his recent outings, Hijikata has faced a mix of opponents, but results have been disappointing, with a loss to Tiafoe just days ago. His last five matches have yielded no wins, and he enters this match with a stable form trend despite recent defeats. The upcoming match against Tiafoe will be crucial; he needs to break this losing streak to regain confidence and momentum.
