Brandon Nakashima vs Alexander Blockx prediction

Brandon Nakashima has been making a strong impression on tour of late as he bids to push beyond the top 25 barrier for the first time.

The American followed up his quarter-final run in Washington with a narrow loss to eventual champion Ben Shelton in Toronto.

Indeed, the 27th seed will be confident of maintaining that momentum against qualifier Alexander Blockx, who upset another American in the shape of Marcos Giron by a 6-2 3-6 6-3 scoreline.

This will be a first tour-level encounter, although Nakashima did cruise to a 6-1 6-2 win on the indoor hardcourts of Danderyd in 2023 and it will probably be a similarly disappointing fate this time for the world number 119.
