Aleksandar Kovacevic and Brandon Nakashima, both unseeded, will face off in the semi-finals of the Brisbane International. This match marks their first career meeting, and below is our prediction for the encounter.
Aleksandar Kovacevic is now just two wins away from his first-ever tour title. The American, who made his first two tour finals last year, defeated Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in the last round.
He won in three sets against one of last year’s Brisbane semi-finalists to start his season with three straight victories. Advancing to this round has nudged the 27-year-old up five places to 53rd in the live ranking.
Brandon Nakashima has also moved up in the live ranking after his unbeaten start to the season. The American, who is yet to lose a set through three fixtures this week, is now ranked 32nd in the ATP.
After starting his campaign with a statement victory against second seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Nakashima has grown from strength to strength.
He hasn’t lost more than six games in each of his last two matches, defeating qualifiers Quentin Halys and Raphael Collignon. The 24-year-old is a one-time tour champion and is seeking to make the championship match of a tour event for the first time since 2022.
