Hubert Hurkacz vs Tommy Paul prediction
Hubert Hurkacz progressed to the third-round of Wimbledon for the first time in three years after beating Sebastian Ofner in straight sets. A crucial first set saw Hurkacz save two set points and take the lead after winning a lengthy tiebreak. It was comfortable for the former world number six after that, as he completed a 7-6 (6) 6-4 6-4 victory.
He will face Tommy Paul next. The American continued his serene progress so far as he defeated Soonwoo Kwon in straight sets. Paul, who lost in the final of Queen’s Club to Francisco Cerundolo, reeled off the final four games to complete a 6-3 7-6 (4) 6-2 victory.
Paul leads the head-to-head 3-1, but this is their first match against each other on grass. Both players are yet to drop a set so far at the tournament. Hurkacz should be able to make this competitive if his first serve is firing, while Paul will look to extend the rallies and force errors from his opponent.
