Grigor Dimitrov and Yoshihito Nishioka are going to clash in the 1st round of the Brisbane International on Monday at 12.30 pm (not before) in the Pat Rafter Arena.
Dimitrov
Ranked only 19th, Grigor is looking forward to rebounding from a disappointing 2018 after he had high hopes following his triumph in the 2017 ATP Finals. Grigor admitted he wasn’t in a good mental space for part of the previous year, but he seems to be well set at least now at the beginning of the current season.

Nishioka
Ranked no.79, the Japanese was having a fantastic start of the season back in 2017 before he had to endure knee surgery
. Yoshihito found some good tennis in the last part of the year after he won his maiden title in Shenzhen and he had 3 deep runs on the challenger circuit.H2H Grigor Dimitrov vs. Yoshihito Nishioka
Grigor and Yoshihito have never played each other so far. The favorite is the Bulgarian, but on a good day Nishioka can get under the skin of everyone, therefore an upset is quite possible.
