Jaime Faria defeated Jenson Brooksby 6-3, 7(7)-6(4), 4-6, 1-6, 6-2 in the R128 of the US Open 2026.
The decider turned in its first three games, where Faria broke for 1-0 and again for 3-0 before closing the set 3 of 4 on break points against three Brooksby double faults. Brooksby had the middle of the match, winning 88 percent of his first-serve points in the fourth set against 11 for the Portuguese, and he finished with 46 winners to 41 and eleven fewer unforced errors. None of it carried over. Across 3 hours 43 minutes Faria took 150 of the 299 points played, one more than the man opposite, off a serve that produced 14 aces and 14 double faults. A fortnight after beating the same opponent in the Cincinnati first round, the 23-year-old from Lisbon — ATP No. 151 when the season began — draws No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz next.
Jaime Faria: 14 aces, 41 winners, 51% first serves, 14 double faults, 6/11 break points. Jenson Brooksby: 6 aces, 46 winners, 65% first serves, 3 double faults, 7/16 break points.
