Kyrgios is on a winning streak of nine straight matches and knocked world #1, Daniil Medvedev, out of the tournament in Montreal the day before. We believe that Kyrgios is the main contender for the title of this competition.
The only head-to-head encounter between the two players was a close one, ending in three sets. We believe that the upcoming match may well follow a similar scenario.
Kyrgios continues to delight with classy play. This time, Nick defeated Alex De Minaur (6-2, 6-3) with confidence.
Oddly enough, Kyrgios allowed his compatriot to take two games on the receiving end but still won with a very comfortable score of 6-2, 6-3.
The recent Wimbledon finalist took full advantage of De Minaur’s mistakes and converted four break points. Contrary to expectations, it was not as hard as expected and lasted only one hour.
Kyrgios’ winning streak now stands at nine matches. He will return to the top 30 next week.
Kyrgios has won 4 of the last 5 meetings against the representatives of the top 10.
Hurkacz, meanwhile, has two difficult matches behind him. At the same time, his opponents were much easier than Kyrgios, who had already managed to beat Daniil Medvedev (6-7, 6-4, 6-2).
On Wednesday, Hubert defeated Albert Ramos-Vinolas (6-7, 6-2, 7-6) with difficulty. Hubert overpowered Albert only in the tie-break of the third set.
As usual, Hurkacz was helped by his serve. In the third set, he won 86% of points on the first ball, including nine aces.
Before that, Hurkacz had an equally difficult match against Emil Ruusuvuori (6-3, 6-7, 6-2).
Hurkacz has lost 6 times in his last 7 matches as a clear underdog.
In 3 of Hurkacz’s last 5 matches, more than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with odds of 1.47.
Kyrgios has played two tie-breaks in his last five matches. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – Yes” with odds of 1.53.
