Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 22 – 1.85.
Brooksby has traditionally performed well on home courts. This season, he reached the semi-finals at the Challenger in Columbus and also played in the final in Dallas. We believe that in Atlanta Jenson will show a good result.
Brooksby is the favourite in this encounter, but he is unlikely to have an easy walk. Especially as Mackenzie, with his attacking style, can cause problems to anyone.
Brooksby defeated Benoit Paire (6-3, 6-1) in the first round. As expected, Jenson defeated Benoit without too much trouble.
If in the first set there was at least a semblance of a struggle, in the second set Jenson gave only one game to Paire.
Brooksby proved once again that on the hard court it will be hard for any opponent.
In spring, he had beaten Stefanos Tsitsipas (1-6, 6-3, 6-2), Karen Khachanov (6-0, 6-3), Roberto Bautista Agut (6-3, 5-7, 6-4) and Nikoloz Basilashvili (6-3, 6-1).
Brooksby has won five of his last ten matches against lower-ranked opponents.
McDonald marked his return to the hard with a win over Denis Kudla (6-2, 7-6).
Unlike Brooksby, McKenzie didn’t have it so easy. Especially in the second set, where it was only decided on the tie-break.
Mackenzie did not win a single match in Atlanta last year, so reaching the second round, in this case, can also be considered progress.
McDonald won two matches at the Miami Masters in the spring and reached the quarter-finals in Dubai.
McDonald has won three of his five matches against seeded opponents this season.
In 3 of McDonald’s last 5 matches, more than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with odds of 1.61.
