Could we see a seeding upset in round two of the Mutua Madrid Open? Brandon Nakashima is the 28th seed but has a difficult match against unseeded Alexander Blockx in round two of this ATP 100 Masters outdoor clay court tournament. Read our match prediction below.
The winner will face either Vilius Gaubas or the third seed Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Brandon Nakashima has made a slow start to his 2026 clay court season. The American has only won two of his four matches played in Houston and Barcelona. He's lost four of his last ten matches on this surface.
Nakashima is 32nd in the live rankings so has a battle on his hands to be seeded at Roland Garros.
Alexander Blockx has set a new career-high of 65th after his first round win here. The German had to go to a deciding set to beat lucky loser Cristian Garin in what wa his first ever match in this tournament.
Blockx reached round three in Monte Carlo but was beaten by Alex de Minaur. Last week in Munich, he lost in round two to the eventual champion Ben Shelton. Four of his last six clay court matches have seen more than 22.5 games played.
We tip that statistic to come up in this match.
