Nakashima vs McDonald. ATP Atlanta Match Prediction
Nakashima and MacDonald will meet on July 23 in the first round of the tournament in Atlanta. Which opponent should you prefer in this confrontation? - read our forecast

Command Analysis

Brandon Nakashima

Nakashima has played the semi-finals in Canberra and won the tournament in Tenerife this season - in the final of these competitions he beat Pedro Martinez. For the American, this was the eighth title in his career. In Atlanta last year, Brandon sheathed his racket quite quickly - in the second round he lost to his compatriot Christopher Eubanks.

Mackenzie McDonald

McDonald is having a weak season. McKenzie has been bothered by a hand injury lately, which has prevented him from playing his best tennis. The American has not won a single game on hard courts this year. McDonald showed his best result this season on grass in Newport, where he reached the quarterfinals. McKenzie has played in Atlanta twice in his career and has never made it past the second round.
