Flavio Cobolli vs. Jenson Brooksby Head-to-Head, Prediction and Betting Odds for US Open 2025 Round-2

Winner to face Musetti or Goffin in Round-3.

Italian No. 3 Flavio Cobolli has already achieved his career-best finish at two Grand Slams in 2025. With a win on Thursday, the 23-year-old can match his best performance in New York as well. Cobolli is set to face 24-year-old American Jenson Brooksby in the US Open 2025 Second Round. One can expect a fierce encounter between two dangerous customers, and not much to separate them in the odds (according to BetMGM).

Flavio Cobolli vs Jenson Brooksby Match Preview

It was a narrow escape for the 24th seed in Round-1, as he scraped past fellow Italian Francesco Passaro in five thrilling sets. After an abysmal 0-7 start to his season, Flavio Cobolli announced himself by winning his first career title in Bucharest. He began to stack up the victories after this – capturing another trophy in Hamburg. Following two grass court QFs at Halle and Wimbledon, Cobolli endured a mediocre North American hard court swing. On hard courts this year, the World No. 26 has managed just 53% first serves in and 17% return games won.

On the other side of the net, Jenson Brooksby has been a name that has travelled across American shores for a while. A flashy 24-year-old attacker, he won his maiden ATP Tour championship in Houston and also finished as the runner-up at Eastbourne. With a win-loss ratio of 16-11 this year, Brooksby is gradually improving and making a name for himself. The former Top-35 sensation will be looking to improve on his Round of 16 performance at Flushing Meadows from 2021. In Round-1, he beat Aleksandar Vukic in five sets.

Flavio Cobolli vs Jenson Brooksby US Open 2025 Prediction

This encounter could go one of two ways – it might turn into a slugfest where neither player misses; or it may be an error-filled slow paced battle. Do not count out the role of the crowd on Thursday – Brooksby will be massively boosted by the Americans on Court-17. In terms of tactics, Cobolli is likely to resort to a slightly flatter game as opposed to Brooksby who might offer a high net clearance. We sense that the encounter will go beyond three sets.

Prediction: Flavio Cobolli in five sets.
