Match Results: Jenson Brooksby
Patrick Maloney Player Overview
Patrick Maloney currently sits lower in the rankings and has picked up four wins in his last ten matches-a tally that matches his opponentโs in terms of victories, but falls short when it comes to the quality of opposition faced. In Newport qualifying, Maloney strung together back-to-back wins, but prior to that he struggled for consistency and often wrapped up matches quickly-heโs been bageled five times in his last ten outings. His average number of games per match is even lower than Brooksbyโs (19.9), further highlighting his tendency toward shorter contests. On serve, Maloney wins around 80% of his service games-a respectable mark for a player outside the top tier-but a high double fault rate (6%) frequently prevents him from mounting a serious challenge against higher-ranked opponents.
