Nakashima: three tournaments before the US Open test

automatic translation of “Nakashima: trois tournois avant le test de l'US Open”

For Brandon Nakashima, the final in Montreal followed by semifinals in Washington and Cincinnati establishes sustained form over three tournaments, enough to move him from 33rd to 17th in the rankings. But his first round of the US Open against Sebastián Báez on August 30 presents a different test: not the value of this summer, but rather his ability to transfer this sequence to best‑of‑five sets. https://www.usopen.org/en_US/news/articles/2026-08-27/jodar_tiafoe_and_more_poised_for_success_at_2026_us_open.html

Pour Brandon Nakashima, la finale à Montréal suivie de demi-finales à Washington et Cincinnati établit une forme soutenue sur trois tournois, assez pour le faire passer du 33e au 17e rang. Mais son premier tour de l'US Open contre Sebastián Báez, le 30 août, ouvre un test différent: pas la valeur de cet été, plutôt sa capacité à transférer cette séquence au meilleur des cinq manches. https://www.usopen.org/en_US/news/articles/2026-08-27/jodar_tiafoe_and_more_poised_for_success_at_2026_us_open.html

Nakashima achieved his first breakthrough: a 6-2, 6-1, 6-0 win over Báez in the first round of the US Open. It adds a best‑of‑five result to his Montreal final and his semifinals in Washington and Cincinnati, but it only proves a single round so far, not a Grand Slam run. The streak is stronger than yesterday; it will need to hold up against a second opponent before the conclusion can be broadened. https://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/feeds/2026/completed_matches/days/day_9.json

Nakashima a réussi le premier transfert: victoire 6-2, 6-1, 6-0 contre Báez au premier tour de l’US Open. Ça ajoute un résultat au meilleur des cinq à sa finale de Montréal et à ses demi-finales de Washington et Cincinnati, mais ça ne prouve encore qu’un tour, pas un parcours de Grand Chelem. La séquence est plus solide qu’hier; il faudra la voir tenir contre un deuxième adversaire avant d’élargir le constat. https://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/feeds/2026/completed_matches/days/day_9.json
