Nuno Borges vs Brandon Nakashima prediction
Brandon Nakashima hasn’t missed a step since reaching the final of the Canadian Open. He’s come straight to Cincinnati and picked up where he left off, defeating Aleksandar Kovacevic, before getting the better of Daniil Medvedev in another statement win. Now Nuno Borges awaits, with the 29-year-old having won his last two matches in straight sets.
It was at this stage where Borges fell short in Montreal, losing to Luciano Darderi in three sets. But USA star Nakashima is riding the crest of wave, developing into a player who knows how to find a way of reaching the latter stages of big tournaments. He’s playing some of his best ever tennis and is well worth backing against Borges, especially with the crowd behind him.
