Hubert Hurkacz vs Denis Shapovalov prediction
Denis Shapovalov hit the comeback trail to see off Adrian Mannarino and claim a berth in his third ATP semi-final of 2026.
The Canadian set aside the disappointment of losing a tie-break in the opener to sink the French veteran by a 6-7 6-3 6-2 scoreline.
The seventh seed will now take on Hubert Hurkacz for the seventh time after the Pole defeated South African qualifier Lloyd Harris 7-6 6-4.
Shapo trails the Incredible Hurk 5-1 in the head-to-head with his solitary success coming in Dubai back in 2021. Hubi has won the last three with four of their encounters involving a tie-break.
Both players have been in fine form of late, which should make this a competitive affair with plenty of games.
The psychology of the match-up favours the Pole, who sits four places better off in the rankings at 46, but there is an air of unpredictability about both in terms of focus that means it could easily go three too.
