Jenson Brooksby will become the youngest American quarterfinalist at Indian Wells since Robby Ginepri and Andy Roddick in 2003 if he beats Cameron Norrie

Jenson Brooksby is on the verge of becoming the youngest American men's quarterfinalist at the Indian Wells Masters since Robby Ginepri and Andy Roddick in 2003.

Brooksby, who is currently 21 years old, faces Cameron Norrie in the last 16 of the 2022 BNP Paribas Open on Wednesday. Ginepri and Roddick were 20 when they reached the quarters in 2003

While Ginepri suffered a defeat against Lleyton Hewitt, who eventually went on to win the title, Roddick fell to Reiner Schuttler, who lost to Gustavo Kuerten in the semifinal.

World No. 43 Jenson Brooksby broke into the headlines after he reached the finals of the 2021 Hall of Fame Open. He became the second-youngest finalist in the tournament's 45-year-old history, but lost to Kevin Anderson in straight sets.

The 21-year-old has made a strong start to the season, finishing runner-up at the Dallas Open after losing to Reilly Opelka in the final. Despite the defeat, the American broke through the top 50 following his great campaign at the Dallas Open.

Brooksby stunned the tennis world by defeating World No. 5 Stefanos Tsitsipas in the third round. The young American made a phenomenal comeback after losing the first set, winning the match 1-6, 6-3, 6-2.

Before his match against Tsitsipas, Brooksby defeated Tokyo Olympics silver medalist Karen Khachanov in straight sets.

Brooksby can only achieve this milestone if he manages to win his fourth-round clash against Britain's Cameron Norrie. The Brit is currently the defending champion at the tournament and defeated Nikoloz Basilashvili in the third round, in a rematch of last year's final.

The two will be crossing each other's paths for the first time at the Indian Wells Masters and their head-to-head currently stands at 0-0.
