Jenson Brooksby is an intriguing tennis player with a unique way to interpret tennis. The young American upset Stefanos Tsitsipas in Indian Wells after brushing aside Roberto Baena and Karen Khachanov.
After the match, Stefanos Tsitsipas did not seem very impressed by his conqueror. When asked to comment about the strengths of his opponent, Stefanos said:
“He’s not a very explosive player, but he’s able to get balls back. He’s not the most athletic player, as well. He’s just able to read the game well, play with his pace, play with the opponent’s pace. He’s able to read the game well and stay consistent. There’s nothing that he has that kills, I would say.”
When asked to comment on Stefanos remarks and explain his “superpower”, Brooksby commented:
“I think my superpower would be exploiting weaknesses in other people. Also doing my best to have my own game have no flaws. They are the two things we shoot for in my game.”
