THE PREDICTION
World number nine Hubert Hurkacz was set to play Stefanos Tsitsipas in Poland’s opening tie with Greece but he did well to recalibrate and dismiss Aristotelis Thanos in commanding straight sets. With the tie already settled at 2-0, a three-set defeat to the returning Tsitsipas in the dead rubber doubles did not stop Poland winning their nation's first ever ATP Cup point. 24-year-old Hurkacz takes on world number 22 Nikoloz Basilashvili next after the Georgian managed just three games in defeat to Diego Schwartzman in Georgia’s 0-3 loss to Argentina. Hurkacz beat Basilashvili in three tight sets at the Canadian Open last year in their only previous encounter but it could be much simpler this time around. 29-year-old Basilashvili is one of the toughest players to predict match-to-match on tour, so taking Hurkacz to win outright is the sensible call.
