Jenson Brooksby vs Emilio Nava prediction

Jenson Brooksby meets fellow American Emilio Nava for the first time with a second round clash with Valentin Vacherot the reward for the winner.

World number 61 Brooksby is 57 places better off on the ATP ladder but favours other surfaces over clay and will be making just his appearance on the dirt this year.

Nava has struggled for tour-level wins this year but does very much favour clay, so that makes this an intriguing tussle.

It’s possibly worth taking the risk on Nava here given Jenson hasn’t played much on the surface of late, although the faster conditions may aid him. The bragging rights also intensify the desire for victory for both and perhaps that could lead to it going three.

Jenson Brooksby vs Emilio Nava tip: Over 2.5 sets
