Tiafoe has shown great tennis in Atlanta, serving well and looking good on the court overall. Brooksby is also doing well, defeating McDonald and Isner in the course of the tournament, which kind of shows he’s in good playing condition. In addition, the only face-off was won by Brooksby.
The only head-to-head encounter between the two players ended in two tight sets, one of which was a tie-break. We expect this match to be a long one as well.
Tiafoe reached the semi-finals surprisingly confidently, so far without dropping a single set.
In the first match, Frances defeated Taro Daniel (7-5, 6-4), who started the tournament with a class victory over Sebastian Korda (1-6, 6-1, 6-3).
In the quarter-finals, Tiafoe defeated Brandon Nakashima (6-4, 6-2). This seems to be a case where you can say it was a win over a comfortable opponent.
The fact is that Tiafoe won his fifth consecutive match against Nakashima. This time the opponent gave up almost without resistance.
This was Tiafoe’s second consecutive hard-court win of the season.
Tiafoe has won five of his last six matches against the compatriots.
Brooksby didn’t have such an easy road, although he made it through the first rounds without too much trouble.
In the quarter-finals, Jenson’s opponent was John Isner (3-6, 6-1, 6-4). Brooksby lost the first set, and after that, there was little doubt about the outcome. However, Jenson eventually won the match with a huge comeback.
Brooksby took the second set (6-1), before taking the deciding set (6-4). The key nuance was Isner’s not very good game on the first serve. While he won 90% of his points on the first serve in the first set, he won 46% and 59% in the third.
Brooksby defeated Benoit Paire (6-3, 6-1) in the first round before beating Mackenzie McDonald (6-3, 6-4) in the second.
Brooksby has won six of his ten semi-finals in the main tour.
