Jenson Brooksby was the last American man or woman standing at the U.S. Open — and the latest obstacle to Novak Djokovic’s pursuit of history.
“He has top-10 talent written all over him,” ESPN’s John McEnroe said on air.
“I think the momentum was changed probably mid-way through the second set...After that I started hitting more cleanly and through the court.” Brooksby missed 14 months coming into 2021 due to arm and toe injuries and did not play a single college match at Baylor after enrolling. He opted to turn pro last December when he was ranked No. 307 in the world. Baylor ended up losing in the NCAA final without him.When Djokovic finally won, the last American had been eliminated from the tournament. Earlier Monday, Shelby Rogers, who upset world No. 1 Ash Barty on Saturday, was routed by 18-year-old Brit Emma Raducanu, 6-2, 6-1.
