Dimitrov vs Nakashima: prediction for the US Open match
Grigor Dimitrov and Brandon Nakashima face off in the second-round match at the US Open. Who will progress to the next round? Here's our prediction.
Command Analysis
Grigor Dimitrov
BulgariaGrigor Dimitrov cruised past Steve Johnson in the first round of the US Open (6-3, 6-2, 6-2). Before the start of the major, however, Dimitrov didn't have any notable performances. He made second-round exits at tournaments in Washington and Montreal, and lost in the opening round of the Cincinnati Masters. In Winston-Salem, Dimitrov experienced pain in his leg and withdrew from the match against Dominic Thiem.
Brandon Nakashima
USABrandon Nakashima got a landslide victory over Pavel Kotov in his opener (7-6, 6-2, 6-2). We can say that the American athlete is well-prepared for the major - for instance, he reached the quarterfinals at the recent tournaments in Atlanta and Los Cabos. Last year, Nakashima lost to Alex Molcan in the second-round match in New York.

Tip and bets
Dimitrov didn't look convincing at recent tournaments, and felt pain in his leg in Winston-Salem, which prevented him from finishing the match. For those reasons, we don't believe he can win tonight. We will be backing Nakashima, who is in decent form.
Our predicion - Nakashima to win
We can say that the American athlete is in good shape, he played well in Atlanta and Los Cabos, and should at least put up a fight against Dimitrov. We sugges taking the over here.
