Brandon Nakashima, the fourth seed at the Chengdu Open, will be up against qualifier Alejandro Tabilo in the event’s first semi-final. These two are meeting for the third time with this tie balanced at 1-1. Let’s have a look at the match preview and a prediction.

Nakashima, who was the 2022 Next Gen ATP Finals champion, is eyeing a first final in three years. This is his third semi this year, having been to the Acapulco and Houston last-fours.

In his journey here, he defeated the defending champion, Juncheng Shang, after enjoying a first-round bye. He then saw off compatriot Marcos Giron in three sets, a win that improved his record to 29-23 and lifted him to 32nd in the live rankings.

Tabilo’s rankings have dipped over the past one year. The same player picked among the world’s best for the Laver Cup in 2024, had to play here as a qualifier.

He has done well, though, considering how injuries have slowed down his progress. Inclusive of the qualifiers, Tabilo is on five straight wins, but on the other hand, he has spent a massive nine hours on the court in Chengdu.

That is about five more than Nakashima, and it could have an effect. Tabilo beat Christopher O’Connell in three sets in the quarters, taking his tally to 19-17 and reaching 90th in the live rank. He is playing his first semi on the tour this season.
