Brandon Nakashima has been catching the eye of the tennis world with his stellar performance at the 2024 ATP Houston. He recently defeated Australia’s Rinky Hijikata on his way into his first QF since May 2023. His stellar performance over the years has now made the fans more curious to know more about this 22-year-old tennis star from California. Let’s have a look at that person who caught the eyes of this American tennis phenom.

Nakashima is a shy-natured tennis player with diverse hobbies and interests. He has been quite low-key about his dating life, making the fans more curious to know about romantic relationships. But according to several social media posts and some other reports, it’s quite evident that his girlfriend is none other than, Amelia Ruiz. Who’s she?

Ruiz is not a tennis player. She is in fact a London-based resident who has achieved her Bachelor’s degree in Science from the University of Exeter. She pursued her further studies at the BPP University, formerly known as the Business and Professional Programme. She graduated with a master’s degree in science from there. She’s not only good at her academics but has also a special knack for sports.

Brandon Nakashima’s girlfriend was a summer sports camp coach at Lady Eleanor Holles School. Over there she used to teach lacrosse to girls aged 11 to 18 years. She has even worked as an analyst in Brand Finance. However, after completing her graduation from BPP University, she started working on her academics. Both Nakashima and Ruiz were spotted together in a heartwarming at the Next Gen ATP Finals in 2022.
