Busta Eases Past Koepfer
Playing his first Tour event since routing Serbian Filip Krajinovic to lift the German Open title, Busta arrived at the Cincinnati Masters in the hope of clinching his third Tour championship trophy this year and his first at a Masters 1000 event.
The World No.12 was drawn to open his Cincinnati campaign against feisty German Dominik Koepfer. However, the German, who took Roger Federer to four sets in the third round at Roland-Garros, albeit in a losing cause, was simply no match for the experienced Spaniard on the day.
Taking a whole world of belief and confidence from the German Open, Busta raced to a 6-4 win in the opening set and cranked his level up a notch in the second to close out a thoroughly comprehensive victory.
With the German failing to rise to the occasion and make a match of it, the eventual score-line read 6-4, 6-2 in the Spaniard’s favor.
However, against Hubert Hurkacz in the last 16, the Spaniard faces a bigger and much stronger hurdle as he bids to seal his passage to the quarter-finals.
The towering Pole took down three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray in the third round and is clearly in amongst the title contenders now.

Hurkacz Takes Down Murray
Currently ranked 13th in singles, Hurkacz came into the Masters on the back of a quarter-final finish at the Canadian Open.
Having lifted his maiden Masters 1000 title at Miami earlier this year and taking the confidence from Toronto and a run to the semifinals at the Wimbledon Championships, Hurkacz opened his campaign with a hard-fought win over rising Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
The 6’5″ Pole followed up with a sensational, straight-set upset of two-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray, one of the greats he looked up to in his early years in the game.
The two players went toe-to-toe in the opening set, which eventually went to a tiebreak. However, Hurkacz pipped the Scot 7-4 in the tiebreak.
The second set was all Hurkacz as the towering Pole put Murray on the mat and closed out a famous win.
