Brisbane Semifinals Set: Medvedev vs. Michelsen, Nakashima vs. Kovacevic

Previews plus betting lines tilt toward Medvedev, with Nakashima slightly favored on recent form.

Overview

Three Americans are in the last four, with top seed Daniil Medvedev the lone non‑American remaining in Brisbane.
Medvedev arrives as a resurgent title contender after ending a two‑year drought in Almaty and posting wins over Marton Fucsovics, Frances Tiafoe and Kamil Majchrzak.
The Russian leads Alex Michelsen 2–0 in their head‑to‑head, including wins at Indian Wells (ret.) and Halle, and dropped only a tiebreak set this week.
Brandon Nakashima has not lost a set in Brisbane, beating Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Quentin Halys and Raphael Collignon while facing few break threats.
Aleksandar Kovacevic advanced by defeating Nick Kyrgios before edging Cameron Norrie and Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in three sets, as betting previews list value on Nakashima to win (1.60) and Medvedev -3.5 games (1.83).
