Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

Learner Tien, a 19-year-old player from the USA, currently ranked No. 68 in the world with a career-high of No. 66. He began making waves in the tennis world by breaking into the Top 200 in August 2024 and the Top 100 in January 2025. In March 2025, Tien achieved his career-high ranking after defeating No. 2 Zverev to reach the quarterfinals in Acapulco, marking the biggest win of his career. Notably, he upset No. 5 Medvedev at the Australian Open, making him the youngest man to defeat a Top-5 player at that event in PIF ATP Rankings history.

Furthermore, Tien qualified for the 2024 Next Gen ATP Finals and made it to the final after defeating top-seeds like Fils, Mensik, and Michelsen. He also had an impressive 28-match winning streak from May to July 2024, securing titles at ITF Tour events and winning his first Challenger title in Bloomfield Hills. In juniors, Tien reached a career-high ranking of No. 4 and clinched the 2023 Australian Open boys’ doubles title with C. Williams.

Currently, Tien is playing his first professional tournament on grass, where he defeated Nishioka in the first round due to retirement. He aims to reach his third ATP Tour quarterfinal after previous appearances at Winston-Salem and Acapulco, both on hard courts. Although he is 2-8 against Top 50 players this year, Tien has notable wins against Medvedev and Zverev in previous tournaments.

On the other hand, Brandon Nakashima, a 23-year-old player also from the USA, is currently ranked No. 31 in the world, with a career-high of No. 29. Nakashima broke into the Top 50 in July 2022 and achieved his career-high ranking in May 2025 after reaching the semifinals at Acapulco. He has had a successful career with his first ATP Tour title in his hometown of San Diego in 2022 and notable achievements such as playing in back-to-back ATP Tour finals as a 19-year-old in 2021.

Additionally, Nakashima won the 2022 Next Gen ATP Finals title and has had impressive runs at Grand Slam events, reaching the third round at Roland Garros, the fourth round at Wimbledon, and the third round at the US Open in 2022. He has notable wins against Top 20 players like Shapovalov and Dimitrov in these tournaments.

Nakashima will be seeking his 18th ATP Tour quarterfinal, with grass courts being one of his strengths. He has a positive record against countrymen on grass, with his only loss to Fritz at the 2021 Wimbledon. Despite a loss in the semifinals at Stuttgart last year, Nakashima is aiming to continue his success on grass courts in this upcoming match against Learner Tien.
