Ugo Humbert vs Jenson Brooksby Preview

Ugo Humbert enters the 2025 Tokyo Open as the No. 6 seed. This will be his second appearance at the event. Last year, Humbert reached the final during a strong finish to the season. He lost to countryman Arthur Fils in a thrilling three-set match. 

This year, Humbert is not considered a favorite to make it that far after a disappointing 2025 campaign. He’s won just 18 matches in nine months and lost 16 times. But he did get his hands on another ATP title earlier this season in Marseille.

The second half of the season has featured some unexpected losses, particularly at the Grand Slam level, losing in the second round at her home major in Paris and the first round of both Wimbledon and the US Open. He hasn’t played since crushing out of the US Open to Adam Walton a month ago.

Jenson Brooksby is ranked 86th in the ATP rankings after a resurgent comeback season. Brooksby is using a protected ranking to play in Tokyo for the first time. His first taste of Asian swing was three years ago, but he played in Seoul at the time.

Brooksby won his first ATP title this season as a qualifier during his incredible run at the Houston Open. He reached a second final on the grass at Eastbourne but lost to Taylor Fritz. Overall, Brooksby has compiled 22 wins and 19 losses. Brooksby has won three of his last five matches and last played at the US Open, where he lost to Flavio Cobolli in five sets.

His serve has been inconsistent, and his footwork has looked unconvincing. I think Broksby has a shot here if he keeps his concentration nd pressure on
