Brandon Nakashima vs Nikoloz Basilashvili — R32 — Italian Open

Ranked #117, Nikoloz Basilashvili flipped a 85-spot gap on Brandon Nakashima by punishing the few looks he got — 2 of 6 break points converted against the American's 1 of 1, and a 54% second-serve points-won rate that exposed Nakashima's 29% (6 of 21) on his own. The #32 seed held a tidy serve, 72% first-in and four of six break points saved, but Basilashvili's 34 winners to 18 settled both sets. His first clash with Nakashima — and a round-of-32 exit for the favourite.
