Nakashima would look to end the three-match losing streak against Norrie.
The 14th seed Brandon Nakashima will take on in-from Cameron Norrie in the round of 16 tie of the 2025 Citi DC Open. Nakashima knocked out fellow country rival, Ethan Quinn in straight sets, while Cameron Norrie surprised Lorenzo Musetti in a three-set thriller to start the campaign in Washington.
Nakashima made a solid start to the hard-court season with a straight-set victory in the opening round. In the recently concluded Wimbledon championship, the American ace reached the third round where he lost to Lorenzo Sonego in a five-set thriller. With a 23-19 record this year, Nakashima saw a downfall in performance. He posted 11-7 hard-court record in 2025 and reached quarterfinals in Stuttgart and Queen’s which shows his strength on medium-pace courts.
Clean performance 👌

Cameron Norrie is coming off an impressive quarterfinal run in the Wimbledon 2025 where he lost to eventual runner-up Carlos Alcaraz. The British ace has posted a 22-16 record in the ongoing season. He had a dull start but picked up a speed in May. Norrie reached the semifinal at the Geneva Open and had a career-best Round of 16 finish at Roland Garros. He secured his first top-10 victory in two years in the previous game against Musetti but his 8-8 record on hard court this year is concern.

Brandon Nakashima delivers strong serve and clean groundstrokes which can trouble Cameron Norrie. The British ace relies on defence and court coverage. Norrie brings experience but his hard-court struggle gives Nakashima a slight edge. Whoever takes early chances will win the match. In all four meetings between two, matches never went into third set.
Prediction: Brandon Nakashima to win in three sets.
Nakashima is the 5/6 favorite, reflecting his impressive hard-court run. Norrie sits at 51/50, offering solid underdog value given H2H record over Nakashima, including two wins on hard court.
