Diego Schwartzman vs Jenson Brooksby: Preview

Given the high standards he set last season, Diego Schwartzman has had a relatively poor year. After reaching the quarterfinal of the French Open, he bowed out of the third round at Wimbledon. He then reached the Round of 16 of US Open and followed it up with consecutive quarterfinal appearances at San Diego Open and Indian Wells Masters.

This week at Antwerp, he defeated 3-time grand slam champion Andy Murray in the Round of 16 before beating Brandon Nakashima in the quarterfinal in straight sets 6-4,6-2.

American youngster Jenson Brooksby is projected as the next big thing in American tennis. After doing well at the Challenger circuit, he reached the final of Hall of Fame Tennis Championships where he lost to Kevin Anderson. He then made it to the semifinal of the Washington Open where he lost to eventual champion Jannik Sinner. He battled past American giant Reilly Opelka in the opening round and defeated Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in straight sets 7-5,6-0.

The 20-year old then made it to the Round of 16 at Flushing Meadows where he took a set from World No.1 Novak Djokovic. At Antwerp this week, he made it to the main draw as a qualifier and is yet to drop a set all week.
