The opening set went to a tiebreak as the players couldn’t be separated at the end of the regulation 12 games. However, it was the Australian who had his nose ahead with a mini-break in the tiebreak and held on to his advantage to claim the first set 7-6 (8-6).
Currently ranked 63rd in singles, Thompson went hard at his opponent in the quest of a decisive break and his persistence paid off as the German lost serve.

However, Nakashima played his way back into the game in the third and profiting from a service break, he closed out a three-set win, setting up an absorbing last-16 battle with Canadian Milos Raonic.
After being outgunned in the opening set by Raonic who looked to have hit top form, lashing winners off his handle and producing big serves, the American fought back to win the second.
The final set veered to a tiebreak which saw the American running up a lead and holding on to it to eventually prevail in three sets.
Thompson v Nakashima Prediction and Tip
