Former world number one Daniil Medvedev's 2026 season is off to a dream start, after taking home the Brisbane International in a dominant showing against Brandon Nakashima.
Medvedev made quick work of the American in straight sets, winning 6-2, 7-6(1).
Medvedev smashed 10 aces as he stormed home to his second ever ATP title on Australian soil, while giving up just one point in the second set tiebreak.
It's a strong return to form for the 29-year-old, who has fallen to number 13 in the world after winning just one singles title in the last two years.
