Our Alex De Minaur vs Brandon Nakashima Prediction
The Difference Maker: Brandon Nakashima has only faced seven breakpoints and won 79.6 percent of his first serves in Washington.
De Minaur is one of the best returners on the ATP Tour, but the Aussie has had a lot of trouble breaking Nakashima’s serve in their last match at Queens.
The match taking place during the day session also favors a big server like Nakashima, who is averaging 10 aces in this tournament.
What to Expect: This match has all the makings of a three-set banger. De Minaur rolls into the quarterfinals with some form, while Nakashima is peaking up nicely after two matches in D.C. In the end, Nakashima will find a way to outlast the No.1 seed again by coming through with the clutch points down the stretch.
Fearless Forecast: Brandon Nakashima survives Alex De Minaur 6-4, 4-6, 7-6
