I was pretty confident with my level and just wanted to have fun out there and see what could happen,&#8221; Brooksby, 22, said in his on-court interview.<br \/>&#8220;I was really proud of my mental resolve out there after the third-set battle didn&#8217;t go my way to turn it around.<br \/>&#8220;Last year, I had COVID, the day before I was due to fly out, and that sucked. But hopefully this is the first of many years to come.&#8221;<br \/>Up next for Brooksby, who is making his Australian Open debut this year after withdrawing in 2022 due to illness, is compatriot Tommy Paul following his five-set victory over Spanish 30th seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.<\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n                  window.TimesApps =
