In New York, Jack was unable to finish his third-round match against Karen Khachanov.

Brooksby, meanwhile, has played in three tournaments since the US Open. In some tournaments, he has been very successful.
In Seoul, Jenson reached the semi-finals. Denis Shapovalov prevented him from getting any further, although the match against Denis (5-7, 4-6) was absolutely equal.
Meanwhile, Brooksby flopped the tournament in Florence, losing straight away to Mackenzie McDonald (4-6, 6-4, 1-6).
In San Diego, Jenson didn’t impress either. After beating McDonald, he sensationally lost to Christopher O’Connell.
