Our Brandon Nakashima vs Alex Michelsen Prediction
Key Stats: Brandon Nakashima also boasts a 22-9 record on the hard court and 25-15 against top-100 players in 2026.
Michelsen certainly has the skills to become a serious contender in the future, but this year, the young American is 1-9 against the top-20 players.
What to Expect: Nakashima will not sweep Michelsen, but will deal enough damage to score a win over his fellow American. Nakashima is winning 79.5 percent of his first serves and averaging 10 aces in hard-court matches. Connecting the first serve is a must for Nakashima if he wants to fend off the pesky Michelsen, who is a strong returner off his opponent’s second serve.
Fearless Forecast: Brandon Nakashima wins 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 7-6
