In the 1/8 finals of the exhibition tournament in Saudi Arabia, Pole Hubert Hurkach will play against Dominik-Stefan Strikker from Switzerland.
Dominik-Stefan StrickerThe 20-year-old Swiss representative last played in mid-November at the ATP's Next Gen tournament in Milan.
At this exhibition tournament for young progressive players, Stricker showed excellent tennis in the group stage, but in the first match of the playoffs Dominik-Stefan unexpectedly lost to the Czech Jiri Legechka – 1:4; 3:4 (4:7); 4:2; 1:4. This game was on November 11.
Hubert HurkachThe 25-year-old representative of Poland, in turn, last played in early November at the ATP-1000 tournament in Paris.
In France, Hurkach did not play in the best way for himself, Hubert only reached the 1/16 finals, where he unexpectedly lost to Holger Rune from Denmark in two sets – 5:7; 1:6. This game was on November second. At the same time, it was Rune who eventually won the title in Paris, which slightly negates Hurkach's misfire.
Hubert Hurkach and Domnik-Stefan Stricker last played last June at the ATP tournament in Stuttgart. Then in the 1/8 finals of the tournament, which was held on grass, the representative of Switzerland made a sensation and won in two sets – 7:6 (7:5); 7:6 (7:5).
ForecastIn this match, Hubert Hurkach is of course considered by the bookmakers to be the undisputed favorite.
On hard, the Polish tennis player shows a much better game. At the same time, a Hurkach should not miss the chance to earn some money, and therefore we also suggest that you bet on a Pole.
