THE PREDICTION
Expect tiebreaks in this clash between two heavyweight serves as world number 17 Hubert Hurkacz takes on number 69 Thanasi Kokkinakis for the third time this season. 26-year-old Hurkacz won both matches in three tight sets at Masters events in Miami and Cincinnati, with this third likely to come as close if Kokkinakis can maintain the level that saw him roll through Fabio Fognini on Wednesday. Hurkacz has struggled to put matches away all season long, with an inordinate amount of deciding sets in 2023 depicting a player lacking confidence in his own fierce abilities, and five of their six sets played this season went to a tiebreak. Take Hurkacz to edge through in three sets and add at least a tiebreak for good measure.
