Six years after their first meeting, Jenson Brooksby and Aleksandar Kovacevic will be clashing again at the Houston Open. These two meet in the first quarter-final, with the winner set to face Tommy Paul or Colton Smith. Read on for our prediction of this match.

These two have eliminated seeded players along the way and will be confident of progressing here. Brooksby, who started at the qualifying stage, is coming off a three-set win over Alejandro Tabilo.

The American went from the brink of exit before turning tables on Tabilo for his fourth straight win. With this run, Brooksby is now on a winning record and will be gunning for a semi-final berth.

Kovacevic started off from the first round, thus he has played two matches less than Brooksby. He comes into this match fresher and in confident form, having eliminated seventh seed Tomas Martin Etcheverry in the first round.

Then in straight sets, he dumped out Corentin Donelly in the last round. Now he is up against a player who beat him in straight sets at the ITF level six years back in their only meeting.

With seven wins in the last eight matches, Kovacevic comes here as a clear favorite. While his clay form shows he is struggling, he should be able to handle a player returning to the surface after three years away.
