The second round of Roland Garros will begin next Wednesday, May 29th and one of the matches the first matches correspond to the clash between Hubert Hurkacz and Brandon Nakashima, players that aren’t major contenders for the championship, but who certainly are going to leave everything they have on the clay court to advance as far as possible.
Nonetheless, it’s more than necessary to remember that despite being one of the top seeds, Hubert Hurkacz is so far from his best level and this statement can be ratified with the performance he had during his first-round match against Shintaro Mochizuki that required 5 sets to be defined (4-6, 6-3, 6-6, 6-0, 6-3), where the biggest problem for Hurkacz was the large number of unforced errors committed (47).
On Brandon Nakashima’s side, the American is very far from being protagonist on the ATP Tour, however he had an extensive preparation for Roland Garros, reaching the quarterfinals at the Houston ATP 250 and the Aix-en-Provence Challenger. He also achieved an unforgettable victory over Andrey Rublev in the second round of the ATP 500 in Barcelona (6-4, 7-6), so he seems to be ready for this new challenge against Hurkacz.

Our Hubert Hurkacz vs Brandon Nakashima Prediction
To conclude, it’s evident that this match is going to be more even than expected due to the low level that Hurkacz has shown recently on clay, and although Nakashima only needed 4 sets to defeat Nicolás Moreno in the first round, his physical exhaustion was similar to Hurkacz’s, as both players extended their matches for practically 3 hours, so the pick for Hubert Hurkacz – Brandon Nakashima is: Hubert Hurkacz To Win 3-1!
