Brandon Nakashima looks a clear favorite in this matchup. His experience in these conditions and stronger recent form give him a solid edge over Mattia Bellucci. All signs point toward a relatively straightforward win if he maintains his usual standards.
Stats - Nakashima Carries Early-Season Confidence
- Brandon Nakashima has a modest record in Dallas, with one win and two losses at the event.
- He has won four of his five matches at ATP level so far this year.
- Mattia Bellucci is making his debut at ATP Dallas this week.
- Bellucci is seeking his first main draw win at tour level since the Shanghai Masters last year.
Head-to-Head - Nakashima Leads 2-0
| Year | Event | Surface | Round | Winner | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | Surbiton Challenger | Grass | R1 | Nakashima | 6–7, 7–5, 7–6 |
| 2024 | Pau Challenger | Hard (Indoor) | QF | Nakashima | 3–6, 6–4, 7–6 |
In-Form Nakashima Targets Deep Run
Brandon Nakashima has made a solid start to the 2026 season, reaching the final in Brisbane. That run remains his only ATP event so far this year and has given him early momentum.
He now looks to carry that form into Dallas, a venue where results have been mixed despite the familiar conditions. He reached the second round on debut in 2022.
He returned in 2025 but fell in the opening round. Even so, his current form and comfort on this surface make this a good opportunity to improve his record at the event.

Bellucci Searching for Form and Confidence
Mattia Bellucci is going through a difficult stretch and has struggled for consistency in both form and fitness.
So far in 2026, he has played eight matches and won four, with none of those wins coming in main draw matches at tour level.
His last main draw victory on the main tour came at the Shanghai Masters last October against Adam Walton. Since that result, he has played 12 matches across all levels and lost eight of them.

Verdict
Nakashima is not only the more accomplished and experienced player at this level, but he also arrives in significantly better form than his opponent.
Given the gap in current momentum and overall pedigree, this shapes up as a fairly straightforward matchup. Expect Nakashima to take control and come through in straight sets.
