Jenson Brooksby vs Nikoloz Basilashvili Prediction & Picks - ATP Chengdu Open

Prediction published on 9/26/26, 7:49 AM  by Bradley Gibbs | Modified on 9/26/26 at 7:58 AM in Tennis Picks

Jenson Brooksby, having battled his way to sucess against Lorenzo Sonego last time out, is now into the quarters of the ATP event in Hangzhou, where on Sunday, he'll be up against Nikoloz Basilashvili for the fourth time. He's lost two of his previous three against the Georgian, who has arguably been in better form than the American at this event, so let's not be too surprised if the road ends here for Brooksby. 

The early betting lines tell us that this could be a very close match, and that's not incorrect. However, the early market also suggests that Jenson Brooksby is the most likely winner, and that doesn't seem quite right. Sure, he's ranked above his opponent, but the American didn't look too fluent last time out, and unless he improves, he could struggle more than the betting predicts, especially as his opponent seemingly has his game in fine working order.
