"Very accurate and means a lot" says Brooksby on comments by Andy Murray

The American player burst onto the scene in 2021 with several main draw appearances at events while being ranked way outside the top 100. One of those was at the Miami Masters earlier in the year where he went through qualifiers to the main draw.

That couple with his latest results garnered the attention of Andy Murray who wrote on his Twitter:

"Jenson Brooksby is the sort of player I love to watch… lots of variety..high tennis IQ….great in defence. His slice and backhand volley is almost identical to Florián Mayer.

The American was asked about those comments and his reposnse was:

“I think that’s very accurate. Obviously, that’s great words to hear from Andy. I mean, he’s been one of the best in the sport and a great guy to look up to. That means a lot."

Brooksby further said:

“That’s great words coming from him. I think he is right with that, because he plays a similar style, as well. It’s funny, I always laugh at that, it is Florian Mayer that had the two-handed slice and volley on the guys' side. Yeah, that's funny."
