Nakashima vs Querrey: the American derby in Mexico
Brandon Nakashima and Sam Querrey face off in the second round of the tournament in Los Cabos on July, 22. What will be the result of the American derby in Mexico? Below you can find our prediction for this match.
Command Analysis
Brandon Nakashima
USANakashima has shown great promise for a long time, but he has failed to fully use his potential. Brandon lacks stability, and that has put him on the 134th line in the ATP ranking. At the beginning of the season, the 19-year-old American played at different Challengers. This was paying off: he won the competition in Quimper and also played in the semifinal of Quimper II. But once he started attending bigger tournaments, Nakashima also started losing. Despite all the setbacks, Brandon won his first match in Los Cabos. Yesterday he defeated Jeffrey John Wolf (6-2, 6-7, 6-3).
Sam Querrey
USAQuerrey has shown great performance on his favourite surface, grass. Not only he reached the final in Mallorca, but also played in the final match in Stuttgart. These victories slowed down his apparent descent. At the moment, Querrey is ranked 70th. Sam's last attendance was in Newport where he was defeated in the first round by Maxime Cressy (4-6, 6-2, 2-6). But Sam got fourth seed in Los Cabos, so he is yet to start his campaign.

Tip and bets
Lately, Querrey has been showing better tennis than Nakashima. And even though his victories were mostly earned on grass, they must be good for Sam's morale. The 33-year-old can use the inconsistency of his young compatriot to his own advantage and win the match. We believe that the chances of the tennis players are more or less equal, but the odds for Querrey's victory are too good to ignore.
Our prediction - Sam Querrey to win.
The previous two matches between these players ended in three sets. We can see how this can happen again: neither Nakashima nor Querrey can boast stability at the moment, so we don't think either can score an easy win.
Second wager - total over 22.5 games
