Command Analysis
Current form
Nakashima advanced to the second round of the US Open, beating Holger Rune in three sets (6-2, 6-1, 6-4). Brandon served 11 aces, converted five break points and did not lose a single game on his serve in the match against the Dane. This was the 19th victory for the American on open hard courts this season, with eight losses.
Professional qualities
Nakashima is an American school graduate, but he does not play in the typical American style. Brandon does not have an outstanding serve or serious power in his shots. He gets his way by moving quickly around the court and hitting fast shots from both sides.

Nakashima is ranked in the top 50 of the world rankings. This season, Brandon can boast of winning the tournament in Tenerife, which he won in January. For the American, it was the eighth ATP title.

1.51Tip and bets
Nakashima beat Rune so easily in the first round that it seems that he will also easily deal with Kazo. Arthur is similar in style to the Dane. In addition, the Frenchman's playing condition is not ideal at the moment. Most likely, Brandon will be able to beat Kazo in the upcoming match.
