Tommy Paul of the United States will try to clinch his first final stint on the ATP Tour this year as he dukes it out with Jenson Brooksby in the 2025 US Men’s Clay Court Championship semis.
Paul earned his place in the semifinal with a surgical 6-1 7-6(1) win over American qualifier Colton Smith. Paul dominated the exchanges, winning 92 percent of his first serves and 70 percent of his second without conceding a single breakpoint. He also broke Smith three times and scored three aces to end Smith’s Cinderella run in Houston.
Brooksby has caught fire in Houston, racking up five consecutive wins to reach the semifinals for the first time since returning from a lengthy layoff. For the second straight match, Brooksby came from behind to pull off another three-set win over Aleksandar Kovacevic, 2-6 6-3 6-4. The American connected 64 percent of his first serves, winning 34 of 89 points. He also seized five breakpoints on the back of 36 return points.

Our Tommy Paul vs Jenson Brooksby Prediction
Tommy Paul is in for a dangerous clash with Jenson Brooksby. Paul has beaten Brooksby in their previous three meetings, but the latter came close to a breakthrough win in their last matchup in Round 1 of the 2025 Dallas Open, 6-7(6) 6-3 6-4. With Brooksby playing terrific tennis right now, Paul must develop a more potent game plan because his previous tactics may no longer work this time. Confidence at a season-high, Brooksby is poised to give Paul the hardest test in this tournament. I also think the winner of this match will be the one who will win it all.
