Marcos Giron vs Brandon Nakashima prediction

Marcos Giron produced an excellent showing to reach the last eight with an eye-catching win over Lorenzo Sonego.

The American upset the Italian eighth seed 6-4 6-4 and will now face his compatriot Brandon Nakashima for a spot in the semi-finals.

The fourth seed came out on top by a 7-5 6-3 scoreline in a tough clash with defending champion Juncheng Shang.

Nakashima leads the head-to-head 1-0 with a notable 6-4 6-4 win in the final in San Diego three years ago.

The higher-ranked American also earned the bragging rights when they locked horns in a lower-tier event five years back, which fits with the feeling that his game is just that much stronger than Giron’s across most departments.

The world number 50 is solid but if Nakashima produces a similar level to his triumph over Shang he will again hold the trump cards in this match-up.
