Brooksby is just 21 years of age, but he is already gearing up for a seventh Grand Slam appearance at the upcoming US Open. The American prodigy has made scarcely believable progress in the last year and a half, going from 307 in the ATP rankings at the end of 2020 to 33 in June this year. He currently stands at World No. 43.

During a recent interaction with the ATP, Brooksby showered praise on the Big 3, saying that initially, he didn’t understand the amount of work that Djokovic, Nadal, and Federer put in to consistently perform at the highest level.

The youngster still looks up to and tries to learn from the best. Brooksby stated that his team observes the three greatest players and tries to incorporate their best qualities into his game.
