Stefanos Tsitsipas showed a brief resurgence in Gstaad but hasn’t translated that form to hard courts.
Jenson Brooksby was sensational in his opening match in Winston Salem and if he gets close to that form here, the American can win at handy odds.

Brooksby Off to a Flyer in Winston Salem
Jenson Brooksby started the year inside the Top 50 but dropped out after suffering nine straight defeats. Six of those came on clay.
The American immediately found some form on the hard court swing, reaching the quarter-finals in Los Cabos. He then lost to Ben Shelton in the second round in Montreal and Jaime Faria in the first round in Cincinnati.
The 25-year-old was impressive in his opening match in Winston Salem, thrashing Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard 6-3 6-2 in 60 minutes. He won 75% of his 1st serves, 85% of his 2nd serves and didn’t give up a break point.
Tsitsipas Adjusting to New Coach
Stefanos Tsitsipas dropped as low as World No.88 in June, highlighting his struggles on Tour. He went out in the second round in all three Grand Slams.
The Greek made a coaching change after Wimbledon, splitting from his father and long-time coach, Apostolos Tsitsipas, bringing in Thomas Perrin. It paid immediate dividends as he won the title in Gstaad, his
first in 16 months.
The 28-year-old couldn’t maintain that form on hard courts, beaten by Alex de Minaur in his opening match in Washington and Joao Fonseca in the second round in Montreal.
Tsitsipas won just 30% of his 2nd serves in a 6-3 7-5 second round defeat to Felix Auger Aliassime in Cincinnati.
