The round of 64 match of Washington Open 2023 between Aleksander Vukic and Brandon Nakashima will take place on August 1.
Aleksandar Vukic had an exceptional performance in Atlanta last week, undoubtedly the highlight of his career. He displayed remarkable skills by defeating strong opponents like Christopher Eubanks and Ugo Humbert. In the championship match, he gave a tough fight to Taylor Fritz, the American #1. This impressive showing led to a significant improvement in his rankings, as he climbed more than 20 spots to achieve a career-high position of #62. Vukic’s success in Atlanta was surprising for two reasons. Firstly, he faced a challenging path to the finals. Secondly, prior to the ATP Atlanta tournament, he had not made any noteworthy achievements on the main tour throughout the year. Until then, he had won only three main-draw matches at this level.
Brandon Nakashima had a tough match against Christopher Eubanks in Atlanta last week and lost in a closely contested three-setter during the second round. Throughout the season, he has struggled with fitness issues and a lack of confidence, resulting in only nine wins and 14 losses in 2023. In his previous and only ATP Atlanta appearance in 2021, Nakashima faced an Australian opponent in the first round and secured a straight-sets victory on his path to the round of 16, defeating Alexei Popyrin 6-3, 6-3.

After an exhausting week in Atlanta, Vukic provides a great chance for someone looking for victories this year. If Brandon Nakashima can raise his performance and stay physically fit throughout the match, he should be able to take advantage of Vukic’s tiredness and seize the opportunity for a win.
