Jenson Brooksby is one of the most interesting upcoming American players. The 20-year-old has an extremely watchable tennis full of variations. Jenson won at tough US Open second round against fellow American Taylor Fritz 6-77 7-610 7-5 6-2.
Nevertheless, Janson was widely blasted for taking extremely long toilet breaks. This is a hot topic after Stefanos Tsitsipas has been badly slammed by his opponents and social media for his toilet breaks.
Tennis legend and popular tennis commentator Brad Gilbert was extremely annoyed with these long breaks. Brooksby got an incredible 12 minutes and 12 seconds break after winning the 2nd set.
Gilbert commented:
“Brooksby just took 12 min gear and toilet break after 2 sets and locker room 50 feet from court crazy how much this is going on.”

Later, Brooksby got another toilet break (5 minutes). Again that didn’t give a good impression.
