Valentin Vacherot vs Brandon Nakashima prediction

Valentin Vacherot produced a dominant performance in the round-of-16 of the Mexican Open as he brushed aside Gael Monfils. The Monegasque did not even concede a break point as he wrapped up a 6-3 6-3 win after just one hour and eight minutes. Vacherot won 91% of his first serve points and is now into his second quarter-final of the season.

He takes on Brandon Nakashima next. The American defeated Patrick Kypson to advance to the next stage of the tournament. Kypson had pulled off a huge shock in the first-round after defeating second seed and two-time winner Alex de Minaur, but he was never close to an upset on this occasion as Nakashima held serve throughout and won 6-4 6-4.

Both players enjoyed comfortable victories in the last round, and there are just two places separating the pair in the world rankings. This could go all the way to three sets.
