Hubert Hurkacz vs Tomas Machac prediction
Hubert Hurkacz was forced to pull out of the Libema Open last week due to a back injury. He had struggled to move freely during his first-round match against Roberto Bautista Agut but still won the match. Nevertheless, the Pole decided to withdraw before his meeting with Mark Lajal. Hurkacz has been hampered with injury already this season but he will hope he can overcome such issues in Halle.
He is up against Tomas Machac, a player who has also suffered from injuries during the campaign. He retired midway through his match with Quentin Halys in the first-round of Roland Garros and makes his return to the tour in this match. Machac has shown how good he can be this season, having won the Mexican Open, but he is struggling to maintain fitness consistently.
This will be their first encounter on grass but the head-to-head is locked at 1-1. There are question marks over both when it comes to injury but Hurkacz has greater pedigree on grass, having won this event, and will be the favourite to win.
