Hurkacz Returns from Wimbledon

While it’s not been an underwhelming season of tennis for Hurkacz by any stretch, it’s not been as good as the previous two years. As a result, the once number nine player has fallen to 17th on the ATP rankings.

He now comes into the US Open Swing on the back of a solid showing at Wimbledon where he had made the fourth round before giving Novak Djokovic a run for his money in a four-set defeat.

Earlier this season, Hurkacz had featured in five hardcourt competitions in which he won nine and lost six matches. Again, not the kind of record he would enjoy despite having made the fourth round at the Australian Open.

Where he did stumble a little was the Sunshine Masters in the USA as the Polish number one fell in the third round at both tournaments. He will hope to turn things around in the US this time around as he also looks to better his record at the Washington Open where he has never made past the second round before.

Mmoh Eases Past Klahn

Despite his own low ranking of 112th in the world and a bit of struggle form-wise, Mmoh had gone into his opener against Bradley Klahn as a favourite. And he lived up to those odds as he carved out a straight-set win over his opponent.

Mmoh needed just an hour and 12 minutes to win 6-3, 6-3 against Klahn and move into the second round at this tournament for the first time in his career.

Facing just two break-points, Mmoh saved both of them even as he got the better of his opponent’s serve on three occasions. This was after he had nine opportunities to break it.

In winning this opener, Mmoh had continued to add on to his solid hardcourt record for this season which has already seen him make the third round at the Australian Open and the quarterfinal of the Delray Beach Open.

It will need him to play out of his skin to get past Hurkacz here though.

Hurkacz v Mmoh Prediction and Tip

No surprises that Hurkacz starts off a favourite but we won’t be discounting Mmoh’s chances here given his opponent hasn’t played any hardcourt matches in a bit. Might see one of the sets to be slightly longish.

Tips:

  • Low Risk Tip: Hurkacz to win: 1/5
  • Moderate Risk Tip: Games Handicap Mmoh +4.5: 5/6
