Christopher Eubanks vs Hubert Hurkacz – Match Predictions

Hurkacz is one of those players who enjoy playing on grass and he can definitely beat anybody on this surface. Eubanks is a player who still fights to make a name on the ATP tour and will have a tough time against the defending champion.

Hubert Hurkacz -2.5 games

Hurkacz playes very well on grass and he has good memories from Halle, winning the tournament last year. This surface fits perfectly to his style of play and he will have no problem going past Eubanks, who is first time in Halle. There may not be too many breaks but still, Hurkacz will get to a comfortable win covering the -2.5 games spread.

Under 25.5 games

The total games margin is set pretty high for this match knowing that both players have very confident serves which makes difficult to make a break on this surface. Still, Hurkacz is on a much higher level than Eubanks and he will break him a couple of times which would be enough for a straight set win without going into tie breaks in both of them.
