Hubert Hurkacz vs Borna Coric – Match Predictions
Here you are the best Today Tennis Prediction, and take note of the best odds for the Hurkacz vs Coric feature, so the whole matches at Mutua Madrid Open 2023.
Borna Coric to Win a Set
Borna Coric’s recent form had been poor but he was convincing in round 1 in Madrid. Also, Coric leads the H2H 2-1 and has won the only previous clay court match the two played against each other. To add to that Hurkacz is not known for giving up, but he is also not known for dominating once in front. This is why 7 of the Hungarian’s last 8 matches on the tour had gone to 3 sets, including his round 1 game in Madrid. All this makes us confident that Coric will win at least 1 set in this matchup.
Total Games: Over 23.5
Our second free betting tip is a logical continuation of the first one. If we think this clash between 2 players slit by just 5 places in the world rankings will go to a decider we also should assume that there will be over 23.5 games in it. This has been the case in 2 of the previous H2Hs and in 7 of Hurkacz’s last 8 matches.
Hubert Hurkacz vs Borna Coric Preview
The tournament is getting hotter after each round, so let’s see a preview to back up our Mutua Madrid Open Prediction.
Hubert Hurkacz
Hurkacz has been struggling for consistency ever since he won the hard-court event in Marseille in late February. The Hungarian has a big serve but doesn’t move very well on the court and this is why he is not a huge fan of the clay surface.
Hurkacz still made it to round of 16 in the recent Monte Carlo Masters. He’s been involved in numerous thrillers lately with 7 of his last 8 matches going to a decider. This also happened in his first game in Madrid when he came from a set down to beat the veteran Gasquet 7-5 in the third.
Borna Coric
Coric’s form has been nothing but awful recently. The Croat suffered round 1 exits in all of the 3 recent Masters – Indian Wells, Miami and Monte Carlo. He also lost in round 1 in the modest ATP250 event in Banja Luka.
Some confidence must have been restored in round 1 in Madrid though as Coric finally recorded a win when easily beating the Frenchman Gaston 6-3, 6-3. This should give the Croat confidence and in general, he likes clay courts, with his style of play well suited for this surface.
Hurkacz vs Coric Head to Head
Coric leads the H2H 2-1. The last meeting between the players was during last year’s Vienna tournament and Coric won in 3 sets. Coric has also won the only previous game between the 2 on clay. He beat Hurkacz during the 2019 Monte Carlo Masters, again in 3 sets.
