Jenson Brooksby vs Aleksandar Vukic prediction

Brooksby has reached two career finals on hard courts in Dallas and Atlanta back in 2022, but lost against the likes of Reilly Opelka and Alex de Minaur. At the US Open, he has a 6-4 win/loss record, with a fourth-round appearance in 2021.

Vukic's only career final on the Tour came on a hard court, losing against Taylor Fritz at the Atlanta Open back in 2023. His record at the New York is poor, as he has not won a main-draw match at the US Open.

Being the home favorite, Brooksby is the clear favorite to win the upcoming match and reach the next round.

But if he were to pick one, he’d go for Novak Djokovic based on his tally of 24 Grand Slam titles.

When not writing about tennis and technically analyzing the sport, which he believes are his 'forte', Sagnik indulges in reading books.
