Hubert Hurkacz showcased a stellar performance as he defeated Alexander Zverev in the semi-finals of the Halle Open. Zverev, who had previously bested Hurkacz in their three encounters, was unable to match the Pole’s prowess on serve. Hurkacz’s 17 aces and ability to save four break points proved to be vital in securing the victory.
Hurkacz expressed his love for playing on grass courts, emphasizing that the surface complements his style of play. His confidence in his serving abilities was evident throughout the match against Zverev. Despite facing some challenges, Hurkacz’s belief in his game allowed him to deliver crucial serves and shots when needed.
With the win over Zverev, Hurkacz is now set to face his doubles partner, Jannik Sinner, in the final of the Halle Open. Sinner, the world No. 1, advanced to the final by defeating Zhang Zhizhen in straight sets. The upcoming final promises to be a competitive encounter, with both players showcasing strong performances leading up to the championship match.
As Hurkacz prepares to take on Sinner in the final, he is aware of the challenge that lies ahead. Sinner’s impressive run on grass courts and his skill at serving pose a formidable threat. Hurkacz acknowledges the tough task of breaking Sinner’s serve and is focused on maintaining his composure and executing his game plan effectively.
Sinner, on the other hand, has the opportunity to make history by becoming the first man since Andy Murray in 2016 to win an event right after reaching the top of the rankings. The final between Hurkacz and Sinner promises to be a thrilling showdown between two talented players vying for the title at the Halle Open.
