Tomas Machac of the Czech Republic will attempt to book his first final appearance on the ATP Tour this year as he goes up against Brandon Nakashima of the United States in the semifinal of the 2025 Acapulco Open. Machac punched his way to his first semifinal in 2025 after besting Learner Tien of the United States 6-3 7-5. The Czech won 22 points on his first serves and broke Tien six times, including a match-clinching service break on the 12th game of the second set. It has been a while since Machac played in a championship match. He last competed for a title at the 2024 Geneva Open, losing to Casper Ruud 7-5 6-3. Nakashima also made it to the final four after hacking out a straight-set win over David Goffin 7-6(4) 6-2. Playing in his first quarterfinals in months, Nakashima bombarded Goffin with 12 aces while breaking his Belgian foe five times. The American improved his 2025 ATP season record to 6-5, and more importantly, he gets a chance to play for a final spot on Friday.

Our Tomas Machac vs Brandon Nakashima Prediction
Brandon Nakashima has yet to drop a set heading into Friday’s showdown with Machac. This is the first time Nakashima will play Machac, who ranks No.25 globally. I like what I have seen from the Americans in this tournament. Of course, beating Machac won’t be an easy feat, but I trust Nakashima to put together a performance that will send him to the championship match on Saturday. Nakashima has held 79 percent of his serves and saved 10 of 15 breakpoints. On the other hand, Machac has held serves at 76 percent and saved 38 percent of breakpoints. Our betting prediction for Brandon Nakashima vs. Tomas Machac: Brandon Nakashima will win.
