Carlos Alcaraz vs Brandon Nakashima prediction

Carlos Alcaraz shrugged off the ankle scare from his opener to waltz past Zizou Bergs and into the last eight in Tokyo.

The Spaniard was once again too strong in an eye-catching showdown as he chalked up a 6-4 6-3 success. 

The world number one will now meet Brandon Nakashima for a third time across all tiers after the American beat Martin Fucsovics 7-5 6-3. 

Alcaraz won in straight sets at the NextGen finals in 2021 and also edged a Challenger in Oeiras in three sets the same year. 

Nakashima will be competitive but Alcaraz pretty much does everything better than the world number 33 and he’ll have to have a big off day for an upset to occur.
