Jenson Brooksby

Last year, Jenson Brooksby lost to Jannik Sinner (6-7, 1-6) in the semifinal of the Citi Open. He needs to defend this result now, and we believe he has a good chance, considering his current form.

Tip and bets
Brooksby and Nishioka have never faced each other on the ATP tour, but they met in January this year at the Columbus Challenger. Nishioka won that match, so he has a slight phychological advantage over his opponent. Brooksby just spent a long and tiring week in Atlanta, so we will risk backing the Japanese athlete.
Our prediction - Nishioka to win
Brooksby is on top form and he is the favorite in this pair, but after a tough draw in Atlanta he probably won't have the energy for a wide-margin win. Take the over.
Second prediction - total over 21 games
