After two evenly-fought sets, McDonald crashed through Brooksby’s defences in the third to register a 6-4, 4-6, 6-1 victory.
McDonald, who had lost to Brooksby in the second round of the San Diego Open, overcame a break of serve in the first game of the match to race to a 5-3 lead before dropping serve yet again while serving for the set.
He then broke Brooksby to scoop up the set only to fall behind twice in the second set. Brooksby got himself the equaliser by serving it out at 5-4.
The last set saw McDonald break his opponent twice to clinch the match and enter round two for the fourth tournament in a row.

Passaro Needs Two Tie-Breakers in Opener
In what was Passaro’s first main draw win of his career, he overcame the pre-match favourite Zhizhen Zhang to seal a place in the second round for the first time ever.
Needing just over two hours for his effort, Passaro carved out a 7-6 (4), 7-6 (6) victory against Zhang. Neither player was able to get himself a break of serve, with Zhang not even facing a break-point in the entire match.
It was Passaro’s ability to hold on to his nerves, especially in the second tie-breaker where he fell 5-6 behind. Down a set-point, Passaro won three points in a row to claim a round of 16 spot.
Passaro had entered the tournament on the back of four Challenger tournament appearances in which he had won just two matches. This was also just the second indoor match in his entire career across different levels of competitions.
McDonald v Passaro Prediction and Tip
This will be McDonald’s golden chance to make it through to the quarterfinals and even beyond given the kind of draw he has. Expect a straight-set win for the American.
