Brooksby dismisses Mpetshi Perricard 6-3 6-2 in Winston-Salem

Jenson Brooksby needed only two sets to see off Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard 6-3 6-2 in the round of 64 in Winston-Salem, and the serve numbers explained the gap. The American was flawless behind his delivery, landing 68.3% of first serves, winning 75% of those points and an extraordinary 84.6% behind the second, with five aces and not a single double fault. Mpetshi Perricard, by contrast, found only 58.9% of first serves and won just 34.8% of his second-serve points, his six aces undone by five double faults. It was a clean, controlled win that carried Brooksby into the next round.
