Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria will face off against Brandon Nakashima of the USA in their upcoming match. The head-to-head series between the two players is currently tied at 1-1. Dimitrov defeated Nakashima in the ATP Masters 1000 Rome on clay in 2022, with a final score of 6-3, 6-4.

Dimitrov, aged 33, is currently ranked 15th in the world and has reached a career-high ranking of number 3. In 2025, he has achieved a win-loss record of 7-5, making it to the semifinals in Brisbane and the final in Miami, with an overall record of 18-13. Notably, in 2017, he became the first debutant to go 5-0 and win the Nitto ATP Finals title since McEnroe in 1978. Dimitrov is also the top-ranked Bulgarian player in history and the only champion from his country, having won nine titles, including the 2017 ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati. Throughout his career, he has surpassed 400 wins, with a significant victory over world number 1 Djokovic at the 2013 ATP Masters 1000 Madrid. Dimitrov has also reached the semifinals of Grand Slam tournaments such as Wimbledon in 2014, the Australian Open in 2017, and the US Open in 2019. In addition, he has made it to 11 ATP Masters 1000 semifinals, including finals appearances in Cincinnati in 2017, Paris in 2023, and Miami in 2024. Notably, Dimitrov secured his first win over Federer in the 2019 US Open quarterfinals, becoming the second-lowest-ranked US Open men’s semifinalist in history at that time.

It is worth mentioning that Dimitrov seeks back-to-back quarterfinal appearances in Miami after reaching the final last year. Currently ranked 21st on the PIF ATP Rankings, a loss in the fourth round would drop him outside the top 20 for the first time since July 2023. He aims to reach the quarterfinals of an ATP Masters 1000 event for the 13th consecutive season, which would be his 21st overall.

Moving on to Brandon Nakashima, he is 23 years old and currently holds the 32nd position in the world rankings, which is his career-high rank. In 2025, Nakashima has achieved a win-loss record of 10-7, reaching the semifinals in Acapulco and advancing to the fourth round in Miami. As a former world number 3 junior, he broke into the top 50 in July 2022 and achieved his career-high ranking in March 2025 after reaching the semifinals in Acapulco. Nakashima also won the 2022 Next Gen ATP Finals in Milan and had a successful run in 2022, reaching the third round at Roland Garros, the fourth round at Wimbledon, and the third round at the US Open. Notably, he achieved his first top 20 wins by defeating Shapovalov at Wimbledon and Dimitrov at the US Open. He also played in consecutive ATP Tour finals at Los Cabos and Atlanta as a 19-year-old in 2021, becoming the youngest American to reach multiple finals since Roddick in 2001-2002. Nakashima aims to reach the 17th ATP Tour quarterfinal of his career, which would be his biggest achievement. Although he has a record of 13-23 against top 20 players, he is looking for his second top 20 win of the year, with his first victory against No. 13 Rune in Acapulco.

It is important to note that Nakashima has not been successful in the round of 16 in ATP Masters 1000 events, losing to Rublev in Montreal and Cincinnati last year, as well as to Shelton in Indian Wells.
