Two unseeded American players meet in round one of the Madrid Open. Jenson Brooksby is up against Emilio Nava and both are looking to win their first ever match in this outdoor clay court tournament. More information in our match below.
A match against 14th seed Valentin Vacherot awaits the winner in round two.
Jenson Brooksby is playing only his second clay court tournament of 2026. His only other match was in Houston where he was the defending champion. He soon lost that title, being beaten by Mackenzie McDonald in round one 6-4 6-2.
The American won nine of his 13 clay court matches last year but seven came in Houston. After that title win, he only won two of his next six matches on this surface. A win over Nava will end a run of three straight defeats on hard and clay courts.
Emilio Nava is 112th in the live rankings 56 places below Brooksby but 31 above him in the ATP Race. He has won eight of his 15 clay court matches in 2026. Nava has made it to two quarter-finals, one on the Challenger Tour and the other in the ATP Santiago tournament.
Six of his last eight matches have seen a tie-break played so a side bet on one here is a good idea.
Overall, we tip Nava to win.
