Nakashima vs Thompson Prediction

Brandon Nakashima is winless in grand slam matches this season, losing the first round at both the Australian Open and French Open. And if he was looking for any sort of respite, he won’t get that at Wimbledon as he takes on the dangerous Australian baseliner Jordan Thompson. Nakashima reached the Wimbledon round of 16 last year, earning a high-profile win over Denis Shapovalov, but lost to eventual finalist Nick Kyrgios in five sets.

Thompson doesn’t particularly fare well at Wimbledon, with his best result being a third-round finish two years ago. The Aussie has lost in the first round four times in his six trips. Thompson, however, comes to SW19 this season in the best form of his career, compiling a 9-4 record on grass and finishing a runner-up at the Rosmalen Championships. There’s not much to separate these two players as both are incredibly versatile baseline players, making this a potential dogfight that could last the full five sets. In that regard, Thompson who has played so well for the full half-season could count on his fitness to get him through.
