Thompson Continues to Improve on Grass
Deep inside, Thompson would be feeling slightly miffed at this tournament in Newport being the last one on grass for the season given the improvement he has shown with every such competition this season.
Starting at Stuttgart and Halle with second round appearances, Thompson then made it to the quarterfinal at Mallorca Open before stunning Casper Ruud and Kei Nishikori at Wimbledon to reach round three there.
And now, here in Newport, he has already improved to three wins in a row to make it to the semifinal. What more, Thompson is yet to drop a set with his latest, quarterfinal win over Maxime Cressy finishing at 6-3, 7-6 (6) in his favour.
Thompson now has a very good chance of making it to his second career final on the ATP circuit given that he faces a player ranked 152nd in the world. His first such attempt to win a title also came on the grass courts of Rosmalen where he had fallen to Adrian Mannarino in the final.

Brooksby Making it Count
Brooksby had shot to fame with his opening round win over Tomas Berdych at the 2019 US Open but since then his performances haven’t been up to the scratch at the highest level.
Sure, he has won three Challenger titles this year including one on indoor hard court, outdoor hard court and clay respectively, but the big question was if he could replicate that success on to the main tour. And on grass.
In the first grass court competition of his career, Brooksby has already shown why he has been talked up as a player to watch out. The American, with wins over Evgeny Donskoy, Denis Kudla and now Peter Gojowczyk in his latest match on Friday, has already made it to the semifinal.
And the confidence from that quarterfinal win where he absolutely demolished Gojowczyk 6-0, 6-3 would hold him in a good stead coming up against Thompson. Can he overturn the odds to clinch a shock final spot?
Thompson v Brooksby Prediction and Tip
There’s not too much to choose between these two with Thompson starting out a favourite at 4/5. His prowess on grass is the one reason why we believe he could shade this contest and make it to his second ATP final.
Tip: Thompson to win: 4/5 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
