Jenson Brooksby advances decisively in the Shanghai Masters
Jenson Brooksby, after his outstanding performance in the Japan Open semifinals, continued his good form at the Shanghai Masters with a convincing victory over James Trotter.
The American tennis player demonstrated his superiority by defeating Trotter with a score of 7-6 (2), 6-1 in the first round of the tournament.
Brooksby, who returned to competition this year at the Australian Open after a period of inactivity due to injuries and a suspension, seeks to consolidate his return to the professional circuit.
His recent defeat at the Japan Open was against his compatriot Taylor Fritz, who was seeded second.
Players with higher rankings in Shanghai, such as Jannik Sinner, recent champion of the China Open, and Novak Djokovic, will not play their opening matches until Friday.
Carlos Alcaraz, who defeated Fritz in the Japan Open final, announced his absence from the Shanghai tournament after his victory in Tokyo.
