O’Connell is doing really well on the San Diego courts. Christopher defeated Wolf and Brooksby in the tournament grid, which kind of speaks volumes about the Aussie’s good playing conditions at the moment. However, we think O’Connell’s winning streak will end in the semi-finals when he faces Nakashima who looks like a contender for the San Diego title.
Nakashima is the favourite in this match, but O’Connell has proved with his performance that he is now in great form and will definitely not be an easy walk for Nakashima.
Nakashima is having a good season. Brandon has reached the quarter-finals five times this year and has now reached the semi-finals in San Diego.
Nakashima got past Zachary Svajda (7-5, 7-6), Denis Kudla (6-3, 6-4) and Daniel Galan Riveros (6-3, 4-6, 6-4) on the grid. Earlier in the season, Brandon reached the quarterfinals in Atlanta on American hard court and also played in the third round of the US Open.
Nakashima has four wins in his last five semi-finals.
O’Connell initially found himself on the difficult side of the grid, but that didn’t stop him from reaching the semi-finals in San Diego.
Christopher got past Jason Kubler on withdrawal in the first round before registering a two-set victory over J.J.Wolf (6-3, 7-5). In the quarterfinals, O’Connell defeated Jenson Brooksby (6-4, 4-6, 7-5) in three sets. O’Connell has already won one trophy this season when he triumphed at the Split clay event.
