Christopher Eubanks and Brandon Nakashima clash in the quarterfinal of the 2025 ATP Houston Open on Friday, April 4, 2025. Here's our Christopher Eubanks vs Brandon Nakashima prediction. This preview will also include a Christopher Eubanks vs Brandon Nakashima pick.

 

Christopher Eubanks Preview

Christopher Eubanks earned a retirement win over eighth seed Kei Nishikori to reach the Houston quarterfinals. Eubanks took the first set 6-1 after only 23 minutes, and Nishikori retired due to injury. In that set, Eubanks hit nine winners to eight unforced errors and did not face a breakpoint on serve. Before that match, Eubanks had beaten Australia's Rinky Hijikata in his one completed match this week. This will be his second quarterfinal of 2025 (he reached the Canberra Challenger quarterfinals in January) and his first at Tour level since Winston-Salem last August. Eubanks also improves on his Houston record. He had never won a main draw match before this year.

 

Brandon Nakashima Preview

Brandon Nakashima is coming off a straight sets win over Mackenzie McDonald. The world No. 33 advances to his second quarterfinal in Houston. Nakashima won 6-1, 7-5 in an hour and 19 minutes to record his 11th win in 19 matches this season. In the victory, Nakashima hit 24 winners and 20 unforced errors, including seven aces and one double fault. Nakashima landed 65% of first serves in play and won 81% of first serve points (26/32). He won 82% of second serve points (14/17) and did not face a breakpoint on serve. Nakashima tallied 43% of return points (26/61) and broke McDonald three times in the match. Nakashima has reached the quarterfinals or better in three tournaments this season. It's his first quarterfinal on clay since the Turin Challenger last May.

Christopher Eubanks vs Brandon Nakashima Prediction

I have to go with Nakashima in this one. Eubanks received a stroke of luck in the last round to reach a rare ATP quarterfinal. Before Houston, his form was non-existent, with eight defeats from nine matches. Nakashima is a rock on the baseline, and Eubanks will need more than a good serving performance to take him out, and unfortunately for him, he doesn't have the tools in his repertoire to do that at the moment. Give me Nakashima in straight sets.
