Kyrian Jacquet vs Brandon Nakashima prediction

Kyrian Jacquet progressed to the next stage in Lyon after a straight sets win over Matteo Berrettini. The qualifier edged clear at the end of both sets to win 7-6 (4) 7-5. He saved all five break point opportunities he conceded on serve, while also converting the only one he was able to create across the entire match. Jacquet reached his first tour-level semi-final at the Hangzhou Open in September, and he is ranked 85 in the world.

His next opponent is Brandon Nakashima. The American advanced following a three set win over Hamad Medjedovic. Both players traded tiebreaks in the opening two sets, but Nakashima raced clear in the decider to win 7-6 (4) 6-7 (4) 6-2 after two hours and seven minutes. He was untroubled on serve, firing 27 aces in total and conceding just the two break points.

Nakashima should have too much quality for Jacquet in this upcoming encounter.
