Match Analysis

Jordan Thompson currently holds a rank of 78 and displays a form index of 39.21, indicating his recent struggles on the court. His Elo rating stands at 1284.51, which is relatively decent, but his surface strength index of 13.31 suggests he has not been particularly strong on hard courts.

His Elo rating of 1138.51 is lower than Thompson's, but he has demonstrated better results in recent matches. Nakashima's mean serve index is at 96.54, while his mean return index is 84.29. Although the difference in serve index is minimal, Thompson's return index is notably higher, which could play a crucial role in the match dynamics. Both players enter this match without cumulative fatigue from the current tournament.

Final Prediction

Brandon Nakashima has the upper hand due to his higher rank and form index, suggesting a more favorable recent performance trajectory. A key factor to observe will be how Thompson's stronger return game holds up against Nakashima's serve, potentially influencing the match's outcome.
