The amerlocks!

Brandon Nakashima meets perhaps the most earthy of Americans in a rather indecisive encounter. Another tie-break with Nakashima?

And yes, in general, as soon as we see Nakashima, we think of the tie-break. This player has long been underrated in my opinion in terms of the quality of his service. Other than that, this season, Brandon has already played 48 games. That's huge for 5 months of season. That means he has fangs. at the beginning he was fighting to get back into the top 100, and there on earth, even though it's not his favorite surface like any good self-respecting Yank, he's fucking playing and the guy is making great progress. Just look at his results. You put me the same Nakashima from a year ago, I bet on Moreno cash, but here, frankly, he impresses me. Proof that work always pays. FORTY-EIGHT matches, friends, in 19 weeks, that's an average of 3 matches per week, every week for 19 weeks. In short, otherwise, Moreno comes out of a good little tournament in Geneva by beating a Goffin who is certainly diminished but in a good way. He's a pure earthman, but he doesn't have the same average level as Nakashima. Huge forehand, and weak backhand. I see anything but an easy match that anyone of the two players here. It smells like Roland's good first round in big battle mode which ends in the mind...
