This will be the first match between Rafael Jodar and Brandon Nakashima.
Jodar a Rapid Riser
Rafael Jodar has been a massive improver this year, starting at World No.165 and now sitting at 11 in the live rankings. He won the title in Marrakech and lost to Arthur Fils in the Barcelona semi-finals.
The Spaniard ended the clay court swing in fine form but didn’t last long at Wimbledon. He immediately improved on his return to hard courts in Washington, losing to Taylor Fritz in the final.
The 19-year-old overcame a short turnaround in Montreal, coming back to beat Corentin Moutet 4-6 6-1 6-3. He hasn’t dropped a set since, defeating Lorenzo Musetti 6-4 6-3, Jiri Lehecka 6-3 6-3 and Arthur Fils 7-6 6-3.
Jodar spoke after defeating Fils for the second time in two weeks: “I knew that I was doing things right. I think he played a good game when he broke my serve in the fourth game of the second set.”
“I was just trying to [play] my game and see what happened. That worked perfectly today, and I stayed very calm during those important pressure moments of the match.”

Nakashima Flourishing Under Ferreira
Brandon Nakashima has been a Top 50 player for two years and appears to be taking a big step towards the Top 20. He lost the Brisbane final and reached the semi-finals in Acapulco but was unable to replicate that form on clay.
The 25-year-old improved on grass, getting to the Queen's Club semi-finals before a second round exit at Wimbledon.
The American hired coach Wayne Ferreira and saw immediate results in Washington. He beat Jakub Mensik and Alex de Minaur on his way to the semi-finals where he lost in 3 sets to Taylor Fritz.
Nakashima has maintained the momentum in Montreal, defeating Daniel Altmaier 6-2 6-1 before 3 sets victories over Titouan Droguet and Arthur Rinderknech. He saved all four points in a 6-2 6-3 quarter-final victory over Luciano Darderi.
