Hubert Hurkacz vs James Duckworth: Preview

Hubert Hurkacz played with fire for a set and a half against Dominik Koepfer in the previous round of the tournament. The Pole trailed by a set and a break and had one foot out of the tournament however, managed to navigate his way to victory with some clutch serving and decisive shots.

Hurkacz moved another step closer to booking his spot at the ATP finals on Thursday. His next obstacle along that path will be James Duckworth.

After years of grinding it out on the men’s tour, James Duckworth has finally progressed into his maiden quarterfinal at the Masters 1000 level by defeating compatriot Alexei Popyrin in the third round of the Bercy Masters.

Infact, this year the Australian reached the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time at Wimbledon and also made his maiden ATP final at the Astana Open thereby ensuring a top 50 debut in the rankings based on his performance in Paris so far.

Hubert Hurkacz vs James Duckworth: Match Prediction

The 24 year-old Pole has shown the quality of tennis he is capable of playing especially when things are not going his way. Moreover, Hurkacz is just one win away to guarantee his place at the ATP Finals which would provide him with extra motivation.

Although Duckworth is enjoying yet another deep run at a tournament, this happens to be unchartered waters for him as it is the Australian’s maiden quarter-finals at the Masters 1000 level. With spending 11 years on the tour, the experience is there however, quality is lacking and Hurkacz definitely a couple notches higher in that aspect.

Hurkacz will be up against the in-form Duckworth who has won a title indoors this year but if the Pole brings back the same display of tennis seen in the third round, he should be able to keep the Australian at bay and advance further in the tournament.

Prediction: Hurkacz to win in three sets.
