LiontipsNakashima vs. Musetti. US Open match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Nakashima has had a great start to the US Open. The American hasn't lost a single game yet and has easily beaten his opponents. First, he defeated Holger Rune and then dealt with Arthur Cazeau. It looks like Brandon has prepared well for the Major.
Professional qualities
Nakashima's serve has finally found stability. This season, he has won over 85% of the balls on his serve. If you add the American's movement on the back line, you get a good player. However, Brandon's main drawback is considered to be his instability.
Current indicators in the tour
Nakashima has lost only eight matches on open hard court this year. He has won the other 20. A successful performance at the US Open will allow him to improve his position in the world rankings, as he currently occupies the 50th place.
Interesting facts for betting
Nakashima is in peak form, having won 8 of his last 10 matches. With this kind of play, he can expect some success in the tournament.
Current form
After the Wimbledon semi-final and third place at the Olympics, Musetti slowed down a bit. It seems that the busy schedule is taking its toll and the Italian simply lacks strength. In Cincinnati, for example, he lost to Francis Tiafoe in one wicket, and at the US Open he barely got past Reilly Opelka and Miomir Kecmanovic.
Professional qualities
Musetti has improved greatly this season and has learned to play on all surfaces. The Italian demonstrates interesting tennis, although he has problems in confrontations with aggressive opponents. Lorenzo does not always find the keys to their style of play.
Current indicators in the tour
Musetti currently has nine wins in 17 matches. His recent success has propelled him to 18th place in the world rankings, although his best position is considered to be 15th place.
Interesting facts for betting
Musetti had a tough time in his last matches. In 3 out of 4 encounters he always lost at least one game. Towards the end of the season the Italian's actions lost their freshness.

Nakashima will have every chance to take revenge. The American has been showing excellent play lately. He took Rune apart and with such play he can count on the next round. Musetti looked unconvincing in the previous fight, so we do not believe in his success.
