Tommy Paul vs Hubert Hurkacz prediction
Tommy Paul could only advance to the third-round of the Canadian Open as he lost to compatriot Learner Tien in straight sets. It’s been a strange season for the 29-year-old, as has reached four finals in total, which includes a title in Houston, but his results at the Grand Slams and Masters events have been far less encouraging on the whole. He did progress to the quarter-finals of the Miami Open back in April.
He received a bye in round one and now faces Hubert Hurkacz. The Pole won in straight sets against Sho Shimabukuro. Hurkacz was not broken on serve and fired 13 aces as he won 6-2 6-4 after one hour and 13 minutes.
This will be the sixth meeting between the pair, with Paul leading the head-to-head 3-2 and 1-0 on outdoor hard court. However, Hurkacz did win their last meeting in the third-round of Wimbledon this year. Hurkacz is a former semi-finalist at the event, and his serve is a big weapon on this fast surface. Paul will have to work hard for his victory.
