In the semi-finals of the challenger in Columbus, American Jenson Brooksby will play against Yoshihito Nishioka from Japan.
Jenson Brooksby
Yesterday, in the semifinals, 21-year-old Brooksby had a hard match with his compatriot Ernesto Escobedo, but still achieved victory. Brooksby played the first set efficiently and eventually won it due to a fairly quick break with a score of 6:4. In the second game, Jenson lost control of his game, almost nothing worked out for him, and in the end he lost it with a score of 1:6. But, at the right moment, Brooksby was able to pull himself together in the third set to show very high-quality tennis. Jenson was able to make two consecutive breaks, reach the score 4:0 and then calmly bring the matter to victory with a total score of 6:2.
Yoshihito Nishioka
26-year-old Nishioka also had to work hard yesterday to make it to the semifinals of the tournament in Columbus. Yoshihito spent the first set in the confrontation with Emilio Gomez from Ecuador without any problems and as a result, with three breaks, he was able to finish it with a crushing score of 6:1. But in the second set, Nishioka immediately lost a game on his serve, this inspired Gomez very much and as a result Emilio did not give up the game – 6:4. In the third set, the tennis players continued to work mostly competently on their serve, but at some point Nishioka was still able to find Gomez's weaknesses and making a break immediately successfully serve for the match – 6:3.
Forecast
Jenson Brooksby, with the support of his fans, is a well-deserved favorite in this match. Perhaps a hard match will be waiting for us, but at the same time we still offer to bet on the victory of an American tennis player.
