Brooksby Advances Forcefully in the Shanghai Masters
Shanghai – Jenson Brooksby, after his outstanding performance in the Japan Open semifinals, continued his winning streak with an impressive victory at the Shanghai Masters. The American tennis player dominated James Trotter, securing the triumph with a score of 7-6 (2), 6-1 in the first round of the tournament.
Brooksby, who returned to competition at the Australian Open this year after a two-year absence due to injuries and a suspension for missed drug tests, shows he is in excellent form. His performance in Tokyo, where he fell to Taylor Fritz, seeded number two, was an indication of his potential.
The top-seeded players in Shanghai received first-round byes, meaning that figures like Jannik Sinner, recent winner of the China Open in Beijing, and Novak Djokovic, will not play their initial second-round matches until Friday.
Carlos Alcaraz, who defeated Fritz in the Japan Open final, announced after his victory in Tokyo that he will not participate in Shanghai.
