US Open, Qualification ATP: Sebastian Ofner vs Kei Nishikori


Game context
Sebastian Ofner enters this US Open qualifying opener against Kei Nishikori ranked No. 127 with a 1-0 head-to-head edge after defeating the Japanese veteran on hard courts in Miami 2024. Ofner has shown limited recent form on the 2026 hard-court swing, posting early losses in Toronto and Cincinnati while dealing with a heel issue that sidelined him from Davis Cup duty. Nishikori, ranked outside the top 400 and retiring at season’s end after multiple injury setbacks, brings major experience as the 2014 US Open finalist and received a qualifying wild card. The 36-year-old’s motivation for a strong New York showing on familiar hard courts and his straight-sets win over Shang in Washington could offset his physical limitations against a younger but inconsistent opponent.
