BRISBANE/STARNBERG, January 11, 2026

Daniil Medvedev captured the title of the Brisbane International presented by ANZ. The top seed of the ATP 250 event defeated US-American Brandon Nakashima 6-2, 7-6(1) in Sunday’s singles final of the hard-court event.

Medvedev fired 10 aces and won 71 per cent of his first-service points to seal victory in one hour and 35 minutes.

“I want to dedicate this to my family,” Medvedev said afterwards, quoted by ATP Media. “They couldn’t make it to Australia, it is a bit too far guys, about 23 hours from where I live and with two young kids it is not easy. I decided to play this tournament and we thought we would be coming all together but we stuck to the decision and my daughter had a birthday when I was here, so I dedicate it to her first birthday. This [trophy] is a bit too heavy for her though.”

The 29-year-old Russian had come agonisingly close in the Brisbane final in 2019, but this time there was no such disappointment on Australia’s east coast. With a commanding performance, Medvedev claimed his 22nd tour-level title, while also maintaining a unique milestone in his career: all 22 of his titles have been won at different tournaments. He earned $114,060 in prize money as well as 250 ATP Ranking points.
