Brandon Nakashima faces wild card Hamad Medjedovic in round one of the Belgrade Open. Nakashima is the sixth seed for this hard court tournament. Can he avoid an upset against the Serb? Here's our match prediction.

In the live rankings, Nakashima is in 37th place and in his most recent tournament lost in round one of the Paris Masters. He led Ugo Humbert by a set before being knocked out by the Frenchman.

The American has lost five of his last six matches but he's had a tough set of opponents. Two of those defeats were inflicted by Humbert and he's also lost to Karen Khachanov but has had recent wins over Frances Tiafoe and Tommy Paul.

Hamad Medjedovic will have the support of the home crowd. The Serb is 155th in the live rankings and most recently lost in the last 16 in the Slovak Open. He has had some success on the Challenger Tour with a run to the final in the Istanbul hard court tournament in September.

On the ATP Tour, only on clay this year has he won two successive main draw matches. In the ATP Race, he's 116 places behind his opponent. We tip Brandon Nakashima to get the win in this match in straight sets.
