On the other hand, Brandon Nakashima, 23 years old, is currently ranked World No. 33. He achieved his career-high ranking of No. 32 in March 2025. As a former World No. 3 junior, Nakashima broke into the Top 50 in July 2022. He won the Next Gen ATP Finals title in Milan in 2022, following a semifinal appearance in 2021. He secured his first ATP Tour title in his hometown of San Diego in 2022, defeating Giron in the final. Nakashima ended the season with an impressive 16-1 record in tiebreaks. In 2021, he became the youngest American since Roddick in 2001-02 to reach multiple ATP Tour finals by reaching back-to-back finals in Los Cabos and Atlanta. In Grand Slam tournaments, Nakashima reached the third round of Roland Garros, the fourth round of Wimbledon, and the third round of the US Open in 2022. He achieved his first Top 20 wins by defeating Shapovalov in the second round of Wimbledon and Dimitrov in the second round of the US Open.

In their upcoming match, Eubanks will be looking for his third ATP Tour semifinal appearance, following his previous grass court performances at the 2023 Mallorca, where he defeated Mannarino in the final, and the 2024 Newport, where he lost to Giron. He aims to secure his biggest clay court win of his career, as he holds a 0-4 record against Top 50 players on this surface. His most recent success came in June 2025, where he reached the quarterfinals of Halle, defeating Martinez and Bublik before falling to Zhang.
Meanwhile, Nakashima is aiming to reach his eighth ATP Tour semifinal. He has previously reached one semifinal on clay at the 2023 Lyon tournament, where he lost to Fils. He has the opportunity to achieve multiple semifinal appearances in a season for the third time in his career, having lost to Machac in the Acapulco semifinals in February 2025. With a win in the quarterfinals, he would move to No. 31 on the PIF ATP Live Rankings.
