Miami Masters 2023: Nakashima vs Otte Prediction, Odds & Pick

TennisSection previews the 2023 Miami Masters first-round match featuring Brandon Nakashima vs Oscar Otte on Wednesday, March 22, 2023.

Brandon Nakashima vs Oscar Otte Match Preview

American Brandon Nakashima will be expected to pick up a win in his first-round match at the Miami Masters, especially with opponent Oscar Otte in dismal form.

Brandon Nakashima has got his season moving in the right direction, picking up a couple of wins this month most notably a big first-round win over John Isner in Indian Wells. Although he lost immediately after to Daniil Medvedev, Nakashima will fancy his chances of progressing into the second round again when he takes the court at the 2023 Miami Masters against a below par Oscar Otte.

Oscar Otte, for his part, played at the Phoenix Challenger last week in an effort to resuscitate his lost confidence. Otte has won three matches all season and is 2-7 on hard courts in 2023. He arrives at the Miami Masters on a dreadful run of form and it is tough to see him enjoying any sort of positive result on Wednesday.

Brandon Nakashima vs Oscar Otte Prediction and Pick

Brandon Nakashima and Oscar Otte have not played each other on the ATP Tour. Wednesday’s match at the Miami Masters will be their first official meeting. Nakashima has sorted his injury troubles over the past month and his level was generally impressive in Indian Wells. I can’t see Oscar Otte causing him too much trouble in baseline rallies in this one.
