Brooksby vs Cobolli — US Open 2R Preview

ATP US Open Hard Court 2nd Round

🧠 Form & Context

Jenson Brooksby (No. 92, age 24)

  • 🇺🇸 Quirky shotmaker returning to Flushing Meadows after suspension.
  • 📊 2025: 22–18 overall, 6–7 on hard.
  • 🔥 Highlights: ATP Houston champion (clay), Eastbourne finalist (grass).
  • 🏟️ US Open: R16 (2021), R3 (2022) — dangerous on home soil.
  • ⚠️ R1: Outlasted Vukic in five (6–3, 6–7, 6–4, 3–6, 6–4). Fight is there; best-of-five stamina still a question.

Flavio Cobolli (No. 26, age 23)

  • 🇮🇹 Breakthrough year; surged after Hamburg title (d. Rublev in final).
  • 📊 2025: 31–21 overall, 7–10 on hard.
  • 🔥 Slams: AO R1, RG R3, Wimbledon QF (l. Djokovic).
  • 🏟️ US Open: First R2 here (Q in 2022, R1 in 2024).
  • ⚠️ R1: Needed five vs Passaro. Seven of his last 10 matches went the distance — resilient but mileage is piling up.

🔍 Match Breakdown

Head-to-Head: Brooksby leads 1–0 (Rome 2022, straight sets).

Styles: Brooksby disrupts rhythm with funky tempos and court craft, dragging foes into awkward exchanges — a natural fit in NY conditions. Cobolli brings cleaner baseline punch and confidence from Hamburg/Wimbledon, but can be tempted into longer rallies he doesn’t always finish.

Physical factor: Both come off five-setters. Cobolli has been living in marathons; Brooksby is still proving his five-set engine post-suspension.

Edge calculus: Season consistency tilts Cobolli; environment and matchup nuance (Brooksby’s chaos factor) keep the underdog very live.

🔮 Prediction

Feels like a grind fest with momentum swings. If Cobolli’s legs hold, his heavier baseline weight should shade the big points; if this turns into extended cat-and-mouse, Brooksby’s New York comfort can flip it late.

Pick: Cobolli in five sets — upset potential live if Brooksby feeds off the Ashe/Ny crowd and stretches rallies.

📊 Tale of the Tape (Qualitative)

  • H2H: Brooksby 1–0 (Rome 2022).
  • Form snapshot (2025): Brooksby 22–18 (6–7 hard) vs Cobolli 31–21 (7–10 hard).
  • Rally control: Structured pace favors Cobolli; broken rhythms/lengthy exchanges lean Brooksby.
  • Stamina watch: Cobolli’s marathon trend vs Brooksby’s post-layoff endurance.
  • Big-match reps: Brooksby’s USO pedigree (R16/R3) vs Cobolli’s first R2 in New York.
