Brandon Nakashima clashes against the qualifier Jerome Kym today in the second US 2025 round this morning in Flushing, Queens.
Nakashima, currently classified n ° 31, closes up after an epic victory for opening five sets against Jesper de Jong – passing a key test of his resilience and his ability to raise his under pressure.
However, the 24 -year -old American first round difficulties raise questions to find out if he can meet or beat his performance in 2024 at the Open, where he reached the round of 16 after beating Lorenzo Musetti in four sets.
This time, if Nakashima passes this obstacle in the second round, he would face the winner of Lloyd Harris-Taylor Fritz in the third round. He has already beaten Fritz. It is therefore possible – but it will need a cleaner game today.
The KYM 6’6 ″, classified around n ° 179, made waves as a qualifying. The 21 -year -old Swiss showed resolution – a survivor at three qualification cycles before winning a spectacular victory in the first round over Ethan Quinn. This is his first round in a main draw of the Grand Slam. Nerves can therefore be a factor, but it has enough skills to eliminate an upheaval.
Nakashima-kym tête-à-tête
This is their first professional meeting.
Prediction
Nakashima in 4 sets. The performance of the first American round suggests that it could be tested once again today against Kym, whose capacities have not entirely equaled its record. Expect Kym to push Nakashima very early, maybe even take a set, but no more than a set.
