Brandon Nakashima vs Jesper de Jong prediction
Brandon Nakashima will be aiming for another deep run at his home slam, having made the fourth-round last year. He last competed in the Cincinnati Open, reaching the third-round before a defeat to world number three Alexander Zverev. He fared better in Washington, getting through to the quarter-finals. His best result on a hard court this season saw him make the semi-finals at the Acapulco Open.
He will be facing Jesper de Jong in the first-round. De Jong makes his US Open main draw debut after winning all three rounds of qualifying. He reached his first ATP Tour final in his first tournament after Wimbledon but lost to Luciano Darderi in Bastad. His record on hard courts is less impressive, though the Dutchman will hope to spring an upset against Nakashima.
Nakashima leads the head-to-head 1-0 after a win over De Jong in the qualifying for last year’s Italian Open. He’s a steady competitor and usually fares well against opponents he is expected to beat. An upset is unlikely to occur here.
