Jenson Brooksby will try to move into the second round on Monday as he takes on Taro Daniel of Japan at the 2025 US Men’s Clay Court Championship.
Brooksby had a modest but still encouraging campaign during the Sunshine Double, where he reached the third round of the Indian Wells Open and played a competitive three setter in a loss with Roman Safiullin 6-3 3-6 6-3 . It will take some time before Brooksby returns to his former level before he was slapped with a 13-month suspension for violating doping protocol. Nevertheless, the American is showing signs that he’s in a right direction in his progress.
Daniel has lost four of his last five matches, failing to move into the final qualifier match at both Miami and Indian Wells Open. The Japanese is 4-10 this year, but he’s expected to play better during the clay court season since he owns a 60.1 percent win rate in matches played on dirt.

Our Taro Daniel vs Jenson Brooksby Prediction
Monday’s match will be the first time Daniel and Brooksby face each other across the net. Brooksby has shown signs of life in the past weeks during the Sunshine Doubles, and I expect him to continue sharpening his form as the ATP season enters the clay court season. Brooksby has a 24-12 record on clay or a 66 percent win rate. His opponent, Daniel, owns a 60 percent win rate, but I can’t trust him to pull off an upset or even play competitively in this match because of his 1-4 record in his last five matches. Our betting prediction for Taro Daniel vs. Jenson Brooksby: Brooksby will win 2-0.
