Brandon Nakashima vs Jakub Mensik prediction
Brandon Nakashima safely booked his place in the next round of the Washington Open after a straight sets win over Tomas Martin Etcheverry. The American conceded just one break point on serve as he won 6-3 6-4. His best previous result at the Washington Open was a quarter-final appearance last year.
He will now face Jakub Mensik. The 20-year-old was taken to a deciding set but did win his first-round match against Trevor Svajda. Mensik was not broken on serve but lost the second set tiebreak as Svajda extended the contest. The Czech regrouped to win 6-2 6-7 (3) 6-3.
Nakashima will look to extend the rallies, absorb Mensik’s power and force his opponent into extra balls. However, Mensik has a strong enough serve to dominate his service games and limit Nakashima in terms of opportunities. This has the makings of a tight match.
