Yoshihito Nishioka is being the protagonist in this ATP de Washington. Nobody stops the Japanese (not even the suffocating heat) and manages to advance after leaving a new victim. Today the Asian got rid of the Russian Karén Khachanov, seeded number 7, beating him in two tie breaks where he dominated: 7-6 (2) 7-6 (1). With this victory, he stands in the quarterfinals with morale through the roof after beating the two finalists of the Atlanta ATP: Jenson Broobsky and Alex From Minaur. Against the Aussie, Nishioka came back from a match that he had lost and that he obtained after taking the second of the sets in another sudden death.
