Jordan Thompson vs Brandon Nakashima prediction

Brandon Nakashima arrives in Japan on the back of a run to the semi-finals in Chengdu.

The American has been pretty solid on hardcourts of late which is in stark contrast to his opponent, Jordan Thompson, who has won just one of his last six.

Nakashima also leads the head-to-head 4-2 and 3-1 on hardcourts. 

Thompson has struggled to regain the level that saw him end 2024 on a high and it’s hard to make a case for him to upset Nakashima here.
