Hubert Hurkacz vs Jan-Lennard Struff prediction
Hubert Hurkacz advanced to the round-of-16 at Wimbledon after an impressive four set win over Tommy Paul. The Pole went behind after being broken in the third game of the match, but he held serve for the rest of the match as he completed a 4-6 7-6 (5) 7-5 6-2 win after three hours and 11 minutes. This is his best run at SW19 since 2023.
He will face Jan-Lennard Struff, who continued his brilliant run at the event with a win over former world number one Daniil Medvedev. Struff, who saved a match point against Brandon Nakashima in round two, was a break down in each of the three sets but still came back to win 7-6 (4) 7-6 (5) 7-5. Struff was 5-2 down in the third set but reeled off the final five games to clinch victory.
The head-to-head is 2-2 with Struff leading 1-0 on grass after a win over Hurkacz in Stuttgart three years ago. Struff is a player who raises his game for the Grand Slams and cannot be counted out, but Hurkacz is serving extremely well and produced a brilliant performance against Paul.
