Alex de Minaur He wanted to crown a good string of positive results in his last tournaments played, returning to compete this week from the fourth round reached at Wimbledon. Throughout the week, the Aussie had some ups and downs, having to come from a set down against Mannarino and Ivashka. Atlanta seems to be a special place for Alex, with another title achieved in the 2019 edition.
For its part, Jenson Brooksby He wanted to finally break the streak of losing finals in his country and thus win his first ATP title, after having fallen in the definitions of Newport 2021 and Dallas this season. The American suffered the clay court tour, almost without being able to add victories, and the same would happen on the grass. In this week, he seems to be getting back in shape little by little and dreaming of doing great things on this tour that is just beginning. In Atlanta, he managed to beat names like Isner and Tiafoe.
De Miñaur consecrates himself again in Atlanta
Brooksby seemed to come out of the match a little better, quickly getting a break chance but failing to materialize. A few games later, and appealing to be more patient than his rival, De Miñaur broke up to go on to lead the scoreboard 4-2. In that vein, the Aussie closed the first set 6-3.
The Australian also came out well focused in the second set, achieving a new break in the first game, which seemed to be decisive for the resolution of the match. However, Brooksby had to play the last cards, and with some strong shots, managed to quickly regain equality. The sleeve was totally even, until Demon got another break to get 4-3. There, the turning point would take place in the final part of the match, with an American who did not seem to have the necessary strength to reverse the result. Finally, De Miñaur signed the victory and the title with another 6-3.
