Hubert Hurkacz vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina prediction

Hubert Hurkacz continued his excellent run of form with a three set win over Yi Zhou to progress to the round-of-16 in Shanghai. The Pole, who won this tournament in 2023, backed up his impressive victory over Novak Djokovic as he won 6-2 3-6 6-3 against his Chinese opponent. Hurkacz advanced to the final of the Chengdu Open last month, and the last four in Beijing. He is enjoying his best run of results for quite some time.

He will now face Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. The Spaniard overcame Frances Tiafoe in three sets. The match was decided by a tiebreak, with Davidovich Fokina edging ahead to win 7-6 (4) 4-6 7-6 (6). 

This is a rematch of the final in Chengdu, which Davidovich Fokina won in straight sets. He has won his last three matches against Hurkacz in total and leads 5-2 in the head-to-head overall. Hurkacz will be out for revenge, and he should be able to remain competitive with his serve and groundstrokes.
