Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 25 – 1.75.
Kyrgios is playing really well at this tournament. If he keeps up his momentum, he can expect to win the title. We believe he must reach the final at least. Hurkacz is not an opponent who can stop Nick.
Hurkacz could put up some fight against the favourite. After all, Hubert has a strong serve in his arsenal.
Hurkacz had previously dropped out twice in London after the first round, but this time he managed to reach the semi-finals.
In the quarterfinals, Hubert had a thriller match against Felix Auger Aliassime. Hubert defeated Felix on two tie-breaks (7-6, 7-6).
Remarkably, Hurkacz did not have a single break point in the whole match, but he had the advantage over his opponent on the tie-breaks.
Early in the tournament, Hurkacz defeated Maxime Cressy (6-4, 4-6, 6-4) and Ugo Humbert (7-4, 6-3).
Hurkacz has lost three times in the last five meetings against players with a strong serve.
Kyrgios reached the semi-finals at his second consecutive grass tournament, making his return to the top 50 next week.
On Friday, Nick defeated Pablo Carreno Busta (6-4, 6-2) with confidence. Pablo tried to fight back in the first set, but the second set was almost effortless. Absolutely top-notch tennis from Nick.
Kyrgios’ main success so far at this tournament remains, of course, the victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas (5-7, 6-2, 6-4) in the second round.
Kyrgios has three wins in his last five matches against the players from the top 20.
In 4 of Nick’s last 7 matches, the tie-break has been played. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – Yes” with the odds of 1.70.
