No longer tennis betting's best kept secret, Brooksby is in a favorable spot on Tuesday against the Winston-Salem runner-up.

Insane tweeners and unbelievable around-the-net trick shots dominated the men's list.

"I'm ready physically, mentally, emotionally to go deep in the tournament. Hopefully I can have another successful year here in Paris," the world No. 1 said.

Despite the straight-set loss, the 22-year-old brought down the sparsely populated house with an incredible winner.

The world No. 1's only two first-round losses at majors came at his most beloved major.

Stan Wawrinka also survived in five sets, setting up a third-rounder against John Isner. Karen Khachanov joined the two by outlasting Mikael Ymer in four hours and 34 minutes.

In 2017 and 2018, the winner of the Milan showcase went on to reach the Australian Open semifinals.
