Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

Roman Safiullin, a 27-year-old player from Russia, is currently ranked World No. 71 and has achieved a career-high ranking of No. 36 in January 2024. He broke into the Top 100 in August 2022 and had a successful year in 2023, winning a personal-best of 20 matches. This included reaching his first ATP Tour final at Chengdu and defeating World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz at the ATP Masters 1000 Paris to reach the third round as a qualifier. Safiullin also made headlines at Wimbledon in 2022, where he became the lowest-ranked quarter-finalist since Nick Kyrgios in 2014. He has had notable victories over two-time champion Stefanos Tsitsipas and reached his first ATP Tour semi-final in Marseille in 2022. Safiullin had a successful junior career, with a record of 105-21 and 11 titles on the ITF Junior Circuit. He even defeated top players such as Daniil Medvedev, Andrey Rublev, and Karen Khachanov, eventually ending his junior career as the 2015 Australian Open champion. In 2025, Safiullin’s only ATP Tour win came at the ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells, where he defeated Reilly Opelka before losing to No. 16 Lorenzo Musetti in the second round in three sets.

On the other hand, Jenson Brooksby is a 24-year-old player from the United States, currently ranked World No. 544 and with a career-high ranking of No. 33 in June 2022. In his grass-court debut at the 2021 Newport tournament, Brooksby had a breakthrough performance. He reached his first ATP Tour quarter-final, semi-final, and final, becoming the second-youngest finalist in the tournament’s history at the age of 20. He also made a mark at the 2021 US Open, reaching the fourth round as a wildcard and becoming the youngest American to do so since Andy Roddick in 2002. In 2023, Brooksby achieved his biggest win of his career by defeating World No. 3 Casper Ruud at the Australian Open and reaching the third round. However, he did not participate in any other tournaments until the 2025 Australian Open. Additionally, Brooksby had a notable performance at the 2019 US Open, where he qualified for the main draw and ended former World No. 4 Tomas Berdych’s career, securing his first tour-level win. Unfortunately, he missed the entire 2020 season due to a toe injury. In Miami, Brooksby made his second main draw appearance and in his debut, he reached the fourth round by defeating No. 20 Nikoloz Basilashvili and No. 17 Roberto Bautista Agut. In Indian Wells, he achieved his first tour-level wins since January 2023, defeating Benjamin Bonzi in the first round and No. 18 Felix Auger-Aliassime in the second round, before losing to eventual champion Jack Draper in the third round.

In summary, Roman Safiullin and Jenson Brooksby will be facing each other for the first time in their careers. Safiullin has had a higher ranking and more success on the ATP Tour, with notable victories over top players and a strong junior career. Brooksby, while currently ranked lower, has had impressive performances at major tournaments and has proven his potential with victories over top-ranked opponents.
