Nakashima has had a successful career so far, breaking into the Top 50 in July 2022 and reaching a career-high ranking of No. 32 in March 2025. He reached the semifinals of the Acapulco tournament in 2025 and has had a 3-3 record in the Miami tournament that year. He won the 2022 Next Gen ATP Finals and his first ATP Tour title in San Diego in the same year. He has also reached multiple finals in 2021 and had impressive performances in Grand Slam tournaments, including reaching the third round of Roland Garros, fourth round of Wimbledon, and third round of the US Open in 2022.

Nakashima aims to become the second-youngest American man to reach the fourth round of both Indian Wells and Miami in the same year since 2010, following in the footsteps of Brooksby in 2022. He has previously reached the Round of 16 in ATP Masters 1000 tournaments, including Montreal, Cincinnati, and Indian Wells.

David Goffin, on the other hand, is currently ranked No. 55 and has a career-high ranking of No. 7. He had a successful season in 2017, achieving a career-high 59 wins and reaching the championship match of the Nitto ATP Finals after defeating Nadal and Federer. He became the sixth player to beat both Nadal and Federer at the same event.

He has reached four Grand Slam quarterfinals, most recently at Wimbledon in 2022, and led Belgium to the Davis Cup finals in 2015 and 2017.

In the Miami tournament, Goffin recorded his 350th tour-level win by defeating Vukic in the first round and then upset the No. 2 seed Alcaraz in the second round.
