Frances Tiafoe is eyeing a second Houston Open title but he must first clear Brandon Nakashima. These two meet at the semi-finals, with the winner set to play Tommy Paul or Jenson Brooksby in the final. Follow on for our prediction below.
Nakashima will be under pressure here, seeking to slow Tiafoe’s dominance in this fixture. The two players clash for the seventh time; in the earlier six, Nakashima managed just one win.
The fourth seed at Houston, Nakashima powered his way past Christopher Eubanks in the last round. He will be playing in a semi-final for the second time this season after earlier featuring in Acapulco.
Tiafoe won the title here two years ago and will be hoping to bag two more wins to clinch a second Houston Open gong.
Like his semi-final opponent, Tiafoe is yet to drop a set here, both having started with a first round bye. In the quarter-finals, Tiafoe beat fifth seed Alex Michelsen 7-5, 6-1. This will be his first clay court match against Nakashima.
Each of the other six were played on hardcourts. Whenever this clash was staged in the US, Tiafoe beat Nakashima. His only loss in this fixture was at the Tokyo Open. Tiafoe has been to the final at Houston twice.
