Brandon Nakashima vs Yunchaokete Bu prediction
Nakashima has yet to reach a grass-court final in either his main-Tour career or in his Challenger or ITF career. His best finish at Wimbledon came in 2022, where he lost against Nick Kyrgios in a five-set thriller in the fourth round.
Meanwhile, Bu has yet to make an ATP final in his career, and all his Challenger and ITF finals have come either on hard or clay courts. This is the first time that the Chinese player is in the main draw at Wimbledon.
Nakashima is the clear favorite to win the match as he is the higher-ranked player and has the experience of playing at Grand Slams.
Pick- Nakashima to win in straight sets
