Brandon Nakashima vs Aleksandar Vukic – Match Predictions
Contents
Both Nakashima and Vukic have winning career record on grass and we are expecting a good match on Monday.
Brandon Nakashima -2.5 games
Nakashima is the better overall player than Vukic. He has been regular at the top tournaments in the last couple of years, while Vukic does not even find a spot in the qualifiers on a regular basis. This will be the second time these two meet on grass, and the first time they did, Nakashima lost only two games. This time he will not be that dominant but will definitely win by covering the -2.5 games spread.
Under 22.5 games
Vukic has a winning record this season which is a good sign for him, but if you take a look at the level of the tournaments and his opponents, it is clear that he is not on the level of his next opponent. Nakashima serves very well and moves quickly on grass, which will be enough for him to win this quite easily in straight sets and under 22.5 games.
