On Tuesday, at the ATP event in Cincinnati, Ohio, Brandon Nakashima and Daniil Medvedev will clash. These two players are meeting for the fourth time as professionals, with Medvedev, who is currently ranked above his opponent, winning each of the previous three renewals.
As he comes here off the back of a fantastic effort in Montreal, where he reached the final, Brandon Nakashima warrants plenty of respect, especially after he bounced back from that defeat against Ben Shelton by brushing Aleksandar Kovacevic aside during the first round in Cincinnati. However, this is a much tougher task, one that he's typically struggled with. Daniil Medvedev has a very strong record against Nakashima, winning in straight sets when the pair met earlier in 2026. On this basis, the Russian should be priced a little shorter and is thus worth betting on to emerge victorious.

Our Brandon Nakashima vs Daniil Medvedev Prediction
Make no mistake about it, Brandon Nakashima is now a serious competitor, and his recent hard-court record is very good, though he does tend to struggle against top-10 players, with him coming massively short against world number six Ben Shelton last week. Now up against the world number seven, the US player looks to have less of a chance of success than the early odds would have us believe.
Essentially, at odds of -115, which really should be -149, betting on Daniil Medvedev to maintain his 100% record against Brandon Nakashima is the way to go in the betting.
