Atlanta, USA
Rising American teen Brandon Nakashima has scored his second win against Australian Jordan Thompson in as many weeks.
Thompson served 16 aces in a one-hour and 50-minute quarterfinal battle at an ATP 250 tournament in Atlanta today, but it wasn't enough to stop 19-year-old Nakashima.
In a rematch of last week's Los Cabos quarterfinal, Nakashima recorded a 7-6(5) 7-5 victory.
Meanwhile, Chris O'Connell's career-best run ended with a three-set quarterfinal loss to John Isner.
The 27-year-old, who was competing in his first tour-level quarterfinal, actually won more points - 106 to Isner's 105 in the two-hour and 36-minute battle.
But in a rain-delayed, late-finishing encounter, the world No.35-ranked American posted a 7-6(5) 6-7(3) 6-4 win.
