The 20-year-old is playing fantastic tennis and this hard court season will be when we see how it squares up against the very best. Along with a very slow start that Felix Auger-Aliassime had against Andreas Seppi, perhaps another Brooksby upset could be on the cards here.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Brooksby in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"i0LA7xs2TUB1y6qi9G4R_A\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1170984127\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'i0LA7xs2TUB1y6qi9G4R_A',sig:'3jDhoJWm6gAxbkyODYBP2kqYvHtqG7548DOjbGZPe8Y=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1170984127',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Kei Nishikori vs Cameron Norrie<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> Nishikori 1-0<\/p>\n<p>Cameron Norrie is having the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2021\/04\/30\/cameron-norrie-british-bloom-clay\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">best season of his career<\/a> and shows no signs of slowing down as he recently took the title at Los Cabos. He might be in trouble here though as Kei Nishikori hasn&#8217;t looked this inspired in quite a while.
