Jenson Brooksby and Aleksander Kovacevic are set to kick off the quarterfinal round at the 2025 US Men’s Clay Court Championship on Friday.

Brooksby reached his second quarterfinal appearance this year after stunning No.3 seed Alejandro Tabilo of Chile 3-6 6-4 7-6(6) in the round of 16. He rallied from a set down by winning majority of 45 first-serve points in the last two sets. Brooksby also secured all three service breaks in the second and third sets, completing a stunning win for the American, who is making a comeback this year after over a year out of the tour due to suspension and injury.

Kovacevic captured his 7th win in 8 matches after downing Corentin Denolly of France 6-3 6-3. Kovacevic played an efficient game, seizing 90 percent of his first serves for 28 points while breaking his French foe three times to pull away. The American seeks his second semifinal appearance on the ATP main tour. She reached the final of the 2025 Montpellier Open in February, losing to Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-2 6-7(7) 7-6(2).
