In Shanghai, during the early hours of Sunday morning, two top-25 players will lock horns. Meeting for the first time as top-level pros, Alexander Bublik and Brandon Nakashima are all set to fight for a place in the fourth round. Following a bye in the first round, Nakashima defeated Matteo Berrettini in straight sets. Bublik also had a first-round bye, before defeating Tomas Machac in straight sets last time out.
At odds of -149, in the early market, Brandon Nakashima is quite fancied to get the job done here, and let's face it, it's easy to see why. The talent and ability of Alexander Bublik has never been in question, but his desire and consistency always have. Right now, the Kazakh player is struggling to be consistent, while he's recently struggled to contend with higher-ranked players, so much so that he deserves to be a slightly bigger underdog here.

Our Alexander Bublik vs Brandon Nakashima Prediction
As mentioned above, Alexander Bublik has won only three of his last eight hard-court matches, and not one of those wins has come against a higher-ranked player. That's a problem for those wanting to support the Kazakh player.
In contrast, Nakashima has been holding his hard-court form relatively well, typically beating lower-ranked players, while the way in which he defeated a player such as Matteo Berrettini in the previous round suggests that he's a more likely winner of this than the early odds would have us believe.
