Brandon Nakashima defeated Jakub Mensik 7(7)-6(5), 3-6, 6-4 — Washington Open 2026 R16.
Brandon Nakashima and Jakub Mensik: Brandon Nakashima leads 1–0 across 1 recorded meeting.
Break points, not total points, decided this one. Nakashima converted 2 of 3 chances while Mensik cashed just 2 of 6, and the seventh seed out-aced the American 15-12 and won more points outright, 98 to 96, yet still exits. The escape began in the opener, where Nakashima broke in game 8 to trail 3-5 after Mensik had built a two-break lead, then took the tiebreak; the decider's lone break landed in game 10 and ended it, 2 hours, 14 minutes in. In their first meeting on record, the win books a Washington Open quarterfinal with No. 5 Alex De Minaur.
