Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
Q: Jenson Brooksby (USA) will face Aleksandar Kovacevic (USA) in their first tour-level meeting. They previously met at the 19 M25 Champaign tournament, where Brooksby won with a score of 6-4 6-3 on hard court.
Jenson Brooksby, 24 years old and ranked 507th in the world, achieved his career-high ranking of 33 in June 2022. He had a notable victory over the 6-time champion Isner at the 2022 Atlanta tournament en route to reaching the third ATP 250 final on his home soil. In his grass-court debut at the 2021 Newport tournament, he advanced to his first ATP Tour quarterfinals, semifinals, and final, becoming the second-youngest finalist in the 46-year history of the tournament. He also reached the fourth round of the 2021 US Open as a 20-year-old wild card, becoming the youngest American to do so since Roddick in 2002. Another significant win of his career was defeating World No. 3 Ruud to reach the third round of the 2023 Australian Open. After that tournament, he did not play until the 2025 Australian Open. He qualified for the 2019 US Open and clinched his first tour-level win by ending former World No. 4 Berdych’s career. However, he missed the entire 2020 season due to a toe injury. It’s worth noting that Brooksby saved one match point against F.A. Gomez in the first round and three match points against Tabilo in the second round. He has previously reached seven ATP Tour semifinals and is now aiming for his eighth, with a chance to make a Top 300 return if he wins the quarterfinal match against Kovacevic. This would also mark his first semifinal since the 2023 Auckland tournament and his fifth on home soil, as well as his first on clay.
