Taylor Fritz vs Jenson Brooksby prediction
Fritz will look to dominate with his serve and forehand in the match against Brooksby. The American will turn 28 next month and should be at the peak of his powers at the moment. He won a couple of grass-court tournaments earlier this year and reached the Wimbledon semifinals as well.
The second seed has one of the most potent serve-and-forehand combinations in world tennis at the moment and Brooksby should find it really difficult to deal with that. The 24-year-old has the ability to extend rallies from the baseline and has a decent return of serve as well.
However, that might not prove to be enough for him on Monday. He will need to match Fritz stroke for stroke on a moderately fast hard court in Tokyo. The chances of his doing so are considerably slim. He should, therefore, find it really difficult to cause another upset on the day. However, he could very well be able to extend the match into a third set.
Pick: Fritz to win in three sets.
