Yoshihito Nishioka from Japan and Brandon Nakashima from the USA will face each other in their upcoming match at the Delray Beach tournament. Nishioka currently leads their head-to-head record, having won their previous encounter. In their last meeting at the Turin CH tournament, Nakashima had to retire, giving Nishioka the victory.
Nishioka, aged 29, is ranked number 67 in the world, with his career-high ranking being number 24. In 2025, he has a win-loss record of 4-3 and has reached the second round twice. Throughout his career, Nishioka achieved his career-best ranking after reaching the fourth round of the Australian Open and Roland Garros in 2023, both for the first time. He also secured a significant win over world number two, Ruud, on his path to winning his second ATP Tour title at the Seoul tournament in 2022. Additionally, he saved two match points against Shapovalov to claim his first title at the Shenzhen tournament in 2018 when he was ranked 171st. Nishioka has reached the final in Delray Beach in 2020, Washington in 2022, and won the title in Atlanta in 2024, after saving match points against de Minaur in the latter. He also defeated his compatriot and world number five, Nishikori, on his way to the quarterfinals of the 2019 ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati tournament as a qualifier. It is noteworthy that Nishioka has never lost in the opening rounds of the Delray Beach tournament, achieving a perfect 5-0 record in those matches. Additionally, three of his six ATP Tour finals have taken place on American soil, where he finished as the runner-up in Delray Beach in 2020 and Washington in 2022, and emerged as the champion in Atlanta in 2024, defeating Thompson.
On the other hand, Nakashima, aged 23, is currently ranked number 42, with his career-high ranking being number 35. In 2025, he has won only one match and lost three. He reached the second round in Adelaide. Nakashima broke into the top 50 in July 2022 and achieved his career-best ranking in September 2024 after an impressive performance at the US Open, defeating Rune and Musetti to reach the fourth round. In 2022, he won the Next Gen ATP Finals title in Milan, following his semifinal appearance in the previous year. He claimed his first ATP Tour title in his hometown of San Diego in 2022 by defeating Giron, and ended the season with a remarkable 16-1 record in tiebreaks. In 2021, at the age of 19, Nakashima played in consecutive ATP Tour finals in Los Cabos and Atlanta, becoming the youngest American player to achieve this feat since Roddick in 2001-2002. In 2022, Nakashima had a strong performance in Grand Slam tournaments, reaching the third round at Roland Garros, the fourth round at Wimbledon, and the third round at the US Open. He registered his first top 20 wins of his career during these Grand Slam runs, defeating Shapovalov at Wimbledon and Dimitrov at the US Open. However, since defeating Paul in Vienna in October, Nakashima has struggled and has a record of 1-7. Furthermore, he has a 3-7 record in his last 10 matches against left-handed players, with wins against Shapovalov, Marterer, and Tabilo.
The match between Nishioka and Nakashima will take place at the Ford Center at the Star in Frisco, Texas, USA, from February 3 to 9, 2025. This will be Nakashima’s first event on home soil since his impressive run to the fourth round of the US Open.
