Set 1 – Over 10.5 Games
We expect each set to have a long duration as in their previous h2h, whose first set ended 7-6. Also in Jan Lennard Struff’s last defeats, it took extra sets for there to be a winner. Given these facts, we prefer more than 10.5 games in the first set. Hurkacz already played 2 tiebreaks in this tournament as well as Struff.
Hurkacz to Win
The previous year Struff won only 1 of his l non-fat marches, while Hurkacz won 5 of 7. Although the German player almost doubles the number of victories of the Polish player, it must be taken into account that half of the tournaments in which Jan Lennard participated were Challenger. All these data make Hubert favourite to win this duel.

In the previous round, Richard Gasquet suffered from the German’s intense style of play. Struff converted 2 break points and that was enough to win 6-4 7-5.
Hubert Hurkacz
The Polish tennis player started the tournament with some complications to defeat his first opponent. However, in the quarter-finals, Hubert played better and needed only 2 sets to defeat Australian Christopher O’Connell.
After that victory, Hurkacz improved on the result he achieved in the last edition of the Stuttgart Open, where he lost in the second round. The 26-year-old Hurkacz, who is now 21 wins, must continue to perform well if he is to return to the top 10 of the ATP rankings.
