Bookmakers currently have Daniil Medvedev as the clear favorite, generally priced around 1.15–1.20, with Brandon Nakashima in the 4.50–5.50 range on the moneyline based on early Brisbane markets in January 2026. Medvedev’s top-5 ranking, hard-court pedigree, and his strong 2026 Brisbane start make him the logical pick to win with DexWin - Best Odds on Your Favourite Sports.

The Medvedev vs Nakashima clash will take place in Brisbane, Australia, at the Queensland Tennis Centre, home of the Pat Rafter Arena. The main stadium typically holds around 5,500–7,500 spectators for ATP events, features Plexicushion outdoor hard courts, and regularly hosts early-season tournaments on the Australasian swing.

From an odds perspective, backing Medvedev on the moneyline at around 1.15–1.20 offers low but stable value given his superior serve, return numbers, and consistent deep runs on hard courts, while Nakashima at 4.50–5.50 appeals more as a high-risk underdog play. A straight-sets win for Medvedev is also favored in most markets, with handicap lines expecting him to cover a -3.5 to -4.5 game spread.

Daniil Medvedev and Brandon Nakashima have met only a handful of times on the ATP Tour, with Medvedev leading their head-to-head, including a straight-sets victory at the US Open where his return neutralized Nakashima’s serve. Their limited meetings, all on hard courts, reinforce Medvedev’s tactical edge and experience advantage going into this Brisbane showdown.
