Hurkacz Returns after Wimbledon Debacle
Having won the Halle Open title in the lead-up to Wimbledon this year, Hurkacz was expected to give some of the top players in the competition a run for their money.
Instead, the Polish men’s number one fell away in the very first round, going down to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in a gruelling five-setter despite having started off as a 1/8 favourite to clinch the tie.
Hurkacz hasn’t played since then, but will be looking forward to getting back to the hard courts of the USA. Because it’s there he won his first Masters 1000 title – in 2021 at Miami.
There had also been a Delray Beach Open title victory, and all in all, it looks like USA is a happy hunting ground for the Pole.
Can he kick things off with a win in a tournament Hurkacz has never gone beyond round two?

Ruusuvuori Overcomes McDonald in Tight Match
It took Ruusuvuori three sets while needing to overcome a one set deficit as he carved out a win in two-hour, 18 minute in his opener against Mackenzie McDonald.
Ruusuvuori fell a set behind in double quick time but came back to break McDonald early in the second set. While he dropped his serve in the sixth game there, he broke his American opponent in the very next game and wrapped up the equaliser soon after.
McDonald, however, refused to go away in a hurry as he raced off to a 3-0 lead before Ruusuvuori finally got his bearings right. Two breaks of serves followed soon after and the Finnish number eked out a 1-6, 6-4, 6-4 win soon after.
This follows a couple of solid showings on hard courts in the early part of the season by Ruusuvuori, having reached the semifinal of the Melbourne Summer Set 1 and the final at the ATP Pune earlier this year.
Can he put up a strong showing?
Hurkacz v Ruusuvuori Prediction and Tip
Hurkacz might be the favourite but things might not be as straightforward as he would like given the possibility of rustiness. A three-set win looks likely for the Pole.
Tip: Hurkacz to win in three sets: 3/1 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
