Nakashima B. - Tabilo A.

ATP Chengdu — Semifinal: Brandon Nakashima vs Alejandro Tabilo

Round: Semifinal

🧠 Form & Context

Brandon Nakashima

Quietly steady hard-court campaign (17–11 in 2025 hard), with quality weeks at Acapulco, IW, Miami, US swing.
Arrives on rhythm: d. Shang (R16) and edged Giron in a deciding tiebreak (QF). Baseline weight + compact takebacks travel well in China’s conditions.
Serve patterns (wide deuce / T in ad) set up the two-line backhand and FH inside-in; thrives when scoreboarding from ahead.

Alejandro Tabilo

Rebuilding momentum: qualified and has strung four Chengdu wins (incl. over Thompson, Darderi, O’Connell).
Lefty patterns dangerous on hard: slider wide in ad, heavy FH cross to open the court, backhand can flatten line.
Season has been streaky (13–10 hard), but when first-serve % is up he converts short points at a high clip.
