Hubert Hurkacz vs Thanasi Kokkinakis – Match Predictions
Contents
With Hurkacz and Kokkinakis both eyeing a place in the third round of the Miami Open, these are our predictions and tips for this match
Hubert Hurkacz to Take it in Straight Sets
We would like to point out that Thanasi Kokkinakis has been better at doubles than he has been at singles. The Australian is ranked just inside the top 100, with one ATP 250 title to his name. On the other hand, Hubert Hurkacz is a top 10 player who tends to play well in this tournament. It’s important to point out that Hurkacz won the Miami Open title two years ago, and reached the semi-final last year. Bearing in mind that Thanasi Kokkinakis hasn’t gotten past the second round of any ATP level tournament he has played in the last two months, we are backing Hubert Hurkacz to win in two sets.
Under 22.5 Total Games
22.5 seems a bit high for this match, especially considering Hubert Hurkacz’s matches mostly end in two sets. We would like to point out that five of Hurkacz’s last seven matches were two-setters, and three of his last four singles matches went below the 22.5 games line. Although we expect Thanasi Kokkinakis to put up a hard fight against Hurkacz, we don’t think he’ll win up to 10 games in this match.
Hubert Hurkacz vs Thanasi Kokkinakis Preview
Our Hubert Hurkacz vs Thanasi Kokkinakis predictions have been established. Now we would like to take a look at both players’ performances in recent weeks.
Hubert Hurkacz
Being a seeded player, Hubert Hurkacz did not feature in the first round of this tournament. The Pole actually enjoys playing here; as he reached the semi-final of the last two editions of the Miami Open, winning one of them. With that in mind, it’ll be interesting to see how far Hurkacz will go in this tournament.
Thanasi Kokkinakis
Unlike his opponent, Thanasi Kokkinakis played in the previous round, where he met wild card Zizou Bergs. Interestingly, the Australian had to fight tooth and nail for the victory, after losing the first set. Thanasi Kokkinakis will hope to make it two wins in as many encounters with Hubert Hurkacz.
