A spot in the next round is at stake on Wednesday, when Brandon Nakashima goes up against Rafael Jodar in the Montreal semifinal. Rafael Jodar brings a 4-match winning streak into this one, 8-2 across the last ten. Brandon Nakashima is rolling — 4 straight wins, 8 of 10 in recent play.
Neither the serve numbers nor the ratings separate these two by much, which is why our number stays close to even. Nakashima comes in off a compressed schedule. Little separates them; Jodar gets the nod on the finest of margins.
