Day four at the US Open saw Nakashima absolutely smashing it, breaking serve and hitting hard off both wings. He’s got everyone buzzing, wondering if he’s finally finding his true form.

Medvedev Kicks Off Strong, Pegula Rolls On

Daniil Medvedev made a good start to his match, while his opponent, Gorzny, tamely ceded serve to 15. That’s a stark contrast to Gorzny saving five match points in round one! Meanwhile, Pegula impressively saw off Kenin, adding to the action.

Is Nakashima Unlocking His Next Level?

Honestly, I’ve always felt Nakashima had “a bit of something,” though, real talk, I expected him to be better by now. But this play? I really like what I’m seeing from him. It just shows progress isn’t always linear, and he might finally be finding that new level everyone’s been waiting for.

It’s going to be exciting to watch if Nakashima keeps this fierce play going through the rest of the tournament!
