Brandon Nakashima and Richard Gasquet will meet in a match at the tournament. Both athletes are not in their best form, but Gasquet has had flashes of success this year. He was able to win the title in Auckland and reached the semifinals in tournaments in Orleans, Shanghai, and Antwerp. Nakashima, on the other hand, is having his worst year in his career and has not had any wins on indoor hard courts this season. Moreover, Gasquet has already defeated Nakashima two months ago on his home turf in Winston-Salem. It is expected that he will be able to overpower the American and claim victory in this match. Forecaster Victor Maevsky recommends betting on Gasquet's win in this match.
