Brandon Nakashima will try to spoil Jack Draper’s return in the first round of the 2026 Eastbourne International on Monday.
Current Form:
Brandon Nakashima reached the semifinals in his first grass-court tournament this year. The American posted straight-set wins over Marton Fucsovics, Ignacio Buse, and No.1 seed Alex De Minaur before falling to the eventual tournament champion, Francisco Cerundolo, 7-6, 6-3, 6-4.
Jack Draper will be making his grass-court debut after missing several weeks on the ATP Tour due to injuries to his left arm and right knee. He last played at the Barcelona Open, where he lost to Tomas Martin Etcheverry 6-3, 3-6, 1-4.
The Matchup: Draper did not get a favorable draw in Eastbourne as he will face in-form Brandon Nakashima in the first round of this ATP 250 event. Nakashima also defeated Draper in three sets in last year’s matchup at Queen’s Club.

Our Brandon Nakashima vs Jack Draper Prediction
Brandon Nakashima will eke out a close win over Jack Draper.
Nakashima has no reason to lose this match. He may be facing a former top-10 caliber player like Draper, but he’s a more prepared player coming off a strong run at Queen’s Club, which was highlighted by a top-10 win over Alex De Minaur.
Draper can produce big wins when he’s healthy, but is he really healthy enough to make a deep run in his first tournament off an injury layoff? Draper will be making his second return to the tour after his first comeback run was cut short by a right knee injury he suffered in Barcelona.
Draper could perhaps push this match to three sets, but he hasn’t put enough matches under his belt to survive a marathon match against a well-conditioned Nakashima.
