In this first-round match in Florence, veteran Richard Gasquet will try to defeat eighth seed Brandon Nakashima. Gasquet has been playing some excellent tennis in recent months. Since late August, the former world number seven had a 9-5 record, defeating the likes of Lorenzo Musetti and Miomir Kecmanovic. Having said that, the young American’s constancy may cause him some serious issues.
Nakashima is only 21 years old, but you’d never guess it from his calm demeanour on the court. He has strong groundstrokes from both wings and has steadily improved his serve over the last 18 months. Nakashima won his first title a few weeks ago in San Diego and will be one of the favourites to win the Next Gen Finals in Milan.
Brandon Nakashima and Richard Gasquet are scheduled to face each other in the second round of the 2022 ATP Firenze Open on Tuesday, October 11. The tournament is scheduled to begin on October 10 and end on October 16.
