Brandon Nakashima will take on Christopher Eubanks in the quarterfinal of the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championship.

Nakashima has made an optimistic start to the season by amassing 11 wins from 19 matches, including a semifinal run in the Mexican Open. He also reached the last 16 in Indian Wells but lost to Ben Shelton in straight sets.

The American entered Houston after a fourth-round exit in Miami. He started his campaign by breezing past Mackenzie McDonald in the first round 6-1, 7-5. Nakashima is making his second appearance in Houston this year.

Meanwhile, Christopher Eubanks has had an ordinary start to the season so far. He entered the qualifiers of the Australian Open but couldn't secure his ticket to the main draw. He reached the second round of the Montpellier Open, which is his best result on tour.

Eubanks entered Houston on the back of a first-round exit in Miami. He started his campaign with a solid win against Rinky Hijikata and then moved past Kei Nishikori. The 28-year-old was announced the winner after Nishikori was forced to retire due to injury in the second round.

Brandon Nakashima is close to making a significant impact on tour. He has stunned higher-ranked opponents such as Taylor Fritz, Holger Rune and Tommy Paul since last year and looks poised to win his second trophy on tour soon. The American has a formidable all-around game.

Eubanks, on the contrary, has a great chance to revive his season in Houston. He is two wins away from reaching the finals and needs a strong result to boost his confidence. The American relies on his serve to set up his points and has a decent all-around game.

Considering their recent results and record in Houston, Nakashima will be a clear favorite to come out on top. He never faced a break point in the previous round and shouldn't have too many problems edging past Eubanks in the last eight.

Pick: Nakashima to win in three sets.
