Hubert Hurkacz vs Roberto Quiroz: Match Prediction

Hubert Hurkacz

Hurkacz is a big-hitter, which is no surprise given that he stands 6’5”. He is an effective server and can hit powerfully from both his forehand and backhand. But, like many of the tour’s more powerful players, consistency is an issue. All in all, he is an excellent, versatile player who can attack, accelerate and defend.

Quiroz is also tall with a height of 6’4” and did not face any difficulty come into the quarter-finals of the Florida tournament. Having a similar run of matches, neither of them will want to waste the opportunity of getting the win.

Match Prediction: Hubert Hurkacz in three sets.
