Hurkacz loves to play on grass, which is not the case for Musetti, whose favorite surface is clay. However, this will be a great match between two players with high ambitions at Wimbledon.

Hubert Hurkacz to win

The style of play of Hurkacz perfectly fits the conditions in Wimbledon and that is the main reason why he is the favorite to win this match. He has better serve than Musetti and knows when to get on the net and will take advantage of that in this match. Musetti is the more versatile player than Hurkacz but that will not make the difference in this match.
