HUBERT HURKACZ VS BRANDON NAKASHIMA PREDICTION
World number eight Hubert Hurkacz endured a much tougher battle than he will have expected on Sunday, needing five sets to beat qualifier Shintaro Mochizuki. The 27-year-old won his first clay-court ATP title at the Estoril Open last month, thus completing his set of surfaces amidst his eight career trophies, and he has clearly improved in these conditions with recent deep runs at Masters events in Monte-Carlo, Madrid and Rome.
World number 84 Brandon Nakashima is probably the more comfortable on clay but the American is still working his way back to his previous level after a concerning past few seasons on tour. The 22-year-old overcame wildcard Nicolas Moreno de Alboran in four sets on Sunday to snap a three-match losing streak but his previous victory was a huge upset of Andrey Rublev at the Barcelona Open to prove his potential.
Back Hurkacz to win their first encounter, with four or even five sets likelier than three.
