Daniil Medvedev lived up to his billing as top seed in Brisbane, booking his slot in the final to face Brandon Nakashima. These two will be meeting for the third time, with Nakashima looking to win this duel for the first time ever. Read on for our prediction of the match.
This will be the second time Medvedev plays in the Brisbane final. In 2019, he lost to Kei Nishikori in three sets, and that remains his only defeat at this tournament.
To book his slot here, Medvedev beat Alex Michelsen in straight sets in the semis. The world number 13 goes into the final sitting 12th in the live rankings.
Nakashima is making his Brisbane debut but will be out to add to Medvedev’s woes. The American has already caused an upset at this event with his elimination of second seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
Before seeing off Aleksandar Kovacevic in straight sets in the semis, he had beaten a pair of qualifiers; Raphael Collignon and Quentin Halys.
Having dropped no sets so far, he will be pumped for this as he seeks a first win ever against the Russian. His blistering run in Brisbane has lifted him to 29th in the live rankings. He last reached a tour final in 2022.

Our Daniil Medvedev vs Brandon Nakashima Prediction
Brandon Nakashima is unbeaten this season and will use this as fuel going into the match against Medvedev. The American is winless in this fixture, and that too will power his motivation ahead of this encounter. This is a title match, and Nakashima will surely give a good effort.
He is, however, facing an established opponent who is equally having a flying start to the season. Medvedev is a slight favorite to win this, as he looks to right the wrongs from seven years ago when he last played here. Our prediction for Daniil Medvedev v Brandon Nakashima is - exact score: 2-1.
