Our Flavio Cobolli vs Brandon Nakashima Prediction
The Difference Maker: Beyond beating Cobolli in their past meeting, Nakashima has been virtually unbreakable in Lyon. The American has faced only 5 breakpoints and conceded one service break, thanks to a dominant 83.7 percent first-serve percentage.
What to Expect: Nakashima’s 20 aces per match and above-80 % first-serve percentage should deliver free points and easy holds against Cobolli, who has created only 6 break chances in three indoor matches this year. Cobolli has also been erratic on serve in recent weeks, making him vulnerable to service breaks against a rapidly improving Nakashima.
Fearless Forecast: Brandon Nakashima wins 7-6, 3-6, 7-5
