Frances Tiafoe will take his red-hot form into his All-American showdown with Brandon Nakashima on Thursday in Tokyo, Japan. Tiafoe, who has climbed to world’s No. 15 following his semifinal run at the 2024 US Open championship, went 1-1 in singles competitions at the 2024 Laver Cup. He defeated Daniil Medvedev after coming through with a ferocious comeback rally 3-6 6-4 10-5 and lost to Alexander Zverev in another riveting three-set showdown 6-7(5) 7-5 10-5. Nakashima, on the other hand, made it to the semifinal of the semifinal of the Hangzhou Open before losing to former US Open champion Marin Cilic 6-4 7-6(6). He won all three singles matches at the Davis Cup finals, topping Alejandro Tabilo of Chile, Josef Kovalic of Slovakia, and Maximillian Marterer of Germany.

Our Frances Tiafoe vs Brandon Nakashima Prediction

My money is on Frances Tiafoe to win this All-American tussle. Tiafoe has just played against the elites of tennis at the Laver Cup. Nakashima reached the semis of an ATP 500 event, but the tournament was missing some quality and big-name stars as it happened simultaneously with the Laver Cup. In addition, he lost to a 35-year-old Cilic in the semis, which could significantly impact his psyche. And before I forget, Tiafoe is 5-0 in his head-to-head series with Nakashima. Our betting prediction for Frances Tiafoe vs. Brandon Nakashima: Back on Tiafoe to win, +160, at BetMGM.

Prediction:

 

Frances Tiafoe will win 2-0
