A place in the Cincinnati Open semi-finals awaits the winner of this all-American match. Sixth seed Taylor Fritz faces 27th-seeded Brandon Nakashima. Fritz has won four of his five previous matches against Nakashima and our prediction is he will win.
The winner will be up against either 10th seed Lorenzo Musetti or 17th-seeded Frances Tiafoe.
Taylor Fritz has reached the quarter-finals of this outdoor Masters tournament on two previous occasions. He's yet to get to the last four in Cincinnati. The 28-year-old has won 16 of his 24 matches played on this surface in 2026 with one title recently won in Washington.
So far in this tournament, Fritz has had wins over Alex Michelsen, Daniel Merida and Christopher O'Connell. All three matches were won in straight sets with one set ending 6-3 and the other 6-4.
Fritz leads Nakashima 4-1 in previous meetings and 2-1 on this surface.
Nakashima will be looking for revenge after being beaten by Fritz in three sets in Washington. He has a 20-6 record on outdoor hard courts this year with two finals reached in Brisbane and Montreal.
It's been a harder route to the last four for Nakashima. He beat Aleksandar Kovacevic in three sets in his opening match. Since then, he's had to go to a deciding set to beat Daniil Medvedev and Nuno Borges.
