Daniil Medvedev will face Brandon Nakashima at the ATP Madrid Open’s round of 16 in Caja Magica, Madrid, Spain. The Russian advanced to the third round without striking a ball, since he received a first-round bye, and his second-round opponent, Laslo Djere, withdrew due to a shoulder injury.

In Medvedev’s opening match of the tournament, he registered a commanding 6-2, 6-2 win over Juan Manuel Cerundolo. Meanwhile, Brandon Nakashima also received a first-round bye and defeated Sebastian Ofner in straight sets, winning a tightly contested second set.
