Damir Dzumhur vs Brandon Nakashima prediction
Damir Dzumhur competed at the Hong Kong Open last week, his first event of 2026, but he could not get past the first-round after a straight sets defeat to Nuno Borges. The Bosnian is usually more suited to clay courts and has struggled to make a key impact on this surface for quite some time.
He faces Brandon Nakashima in the first-round of the Auckland Open. The American began his season superbly, as he made his first ATP final since 2022, winning all four of his matches without the drop of a set. Nevertheless, Nakashima was unable to get the job done in the final as he lost in straight sets to former world number one Daniil Medvedev.
There were so many positives for Nakashima to take as he begins another tournament ahead of the Australian Open next week. This is quick turnaround for him, but his fitness is always a strength of his and his solid game should provide him with enough chances to defeat Dzumhur in straight sets.
