Brandon Nakashima vs John Millman prediction

Brandon Nakashima at the 2022 Miami Open. Nakashima made it to the final in Atlanta last year, where he lost to John Isner in the clash. He will be aiming to go a step further this time around. The American has enjoyed a better season than Millman so far, and as such will be the favorite to come through this clash. Both players were stretched to three sets in the first round and will now look to clean up their games. Millman won quite a few points on the back of his first serve and he frustrated his opponent quite well by retrieving most shots and keeping the ball in play. Nakashima will look to step in with his backhand and take control of the match. While he didn't win too many break points, he still did well during his returns in his first-round match against Thompson. He pounced on the slower second serves and he'll need to attack those in a similar manner against Millman as well. Nakashima served quite well in the previous round, hitting nine aces and winning 79% of first serve points. The youngster has the edge in this department compared to his opponent. Millman could provide a stern test for the American, but Nakashima should be able to navigate his way past the challenge posed by him to advance further. Pick: Brandon Nakashima to win in three sets.
