Andrey Rublev vs Brandon Nakashima: Preview
After a successful run as a part of Team Europe in the Laver Cup, that included 2 doubles victories as well as a singles win over Argentine Diego Schwartzman, Andrey Rublev will make an appearance in the San Diego Open as the top seed. Rublev, who lost to American giant-killer Frances Tiafoe, in a taxing 5-setter in the third Round at the 2021 US Open, will look to clinch a title at the ATP 250 tournament.
American youngster Nakashima, who seized a surprise victory over John Isner, earlier this year at the US Open has had a good season so far. A match-up against the Russian could be a great opportunity and learning experience for the promising 20-year-old who was the runner-up at this year’s Atlanta Open and Los Cabos Open.

Andrey Rublev vs Brandon Nakashima: Prediction
Rublev enters the clash with a career record of 120-65 on Hard Courts and 22-8 on Hard Courts in 2021, a career best. He boasts a 44-15 record across all surfaces in the season, with a fantastic run, compared to Nakashima’s 33-20. Nakashima on the other hand, has a career Hard Court record of 57-27, with a season record of 16-8.
Rublev is the top seed in the tournament and a successful season as well as Laver Cup should have him in good form. He would definitely be the favourite in the match-up, however, Nakashima’s young confidence might be something to watch put for.
Prediction: Rublev to win in 2 sets.
