2021 has been the breakthrough season for Hubert Hurkacz. He surprised everyone by winning the Miami Masters. His form then dipped off in the clay court season before, post which he made it to the semifinal at Wimbledon, where had a memorable victory against Roger Federer in the last 8. He then bowed out in the second round at US Open before winning the Moselle Open and making it to the semifinal at Bercy.

Meanwhile, Egor Gerasimov has been in terrible form this season. He has barely made it past the first or second round of the tournaments he has participated in. His best finish post the return of the tour has been reaching the Semi-final stage of the Montpellier Open. The Belarusian currently has a career-high ranking of 65, and was last seen in the ATP Adelaide International 2 where he was defeated at the round of 32 stage by Gianluca Mager.

Hubert Hurkacz will be confident ahead of the start of the Australian Open after coming off a memorable breakthrough campaign. The Polish would be unlikely to win the title, but would definitely aim to reach the latter stages of the tournament and possibly cause some upsets on the way. Gerasimov meanwhile would be the huge underdog and would just look to give a good account of himself.

Match Prediction- Hurkacz to win in 2 sets.
