Score, report, and key facts

1st set.

The set was pretty even as both sides managed to hold the serve. The only difference was 1 break that Stefanos conquered in the 11th game (6-5) before winning the set (7-5).

2nd set.

Hurkacz had a boost of confidence at the beginning of the set after breaking Tsitsipas in the 2nd game (2-0) before consolidating his break and lead 3-0. That break was enough for Hubert to win the set (6-3) as there were no other breaks.

3rd set.

Neither player conceded a service game during this set. Therefore the affair had to be decided at the tiebreak. Eventually, Tsitsipas won the tiebreak at 5.

Statistics

Tsitsipas won this contest even if he scored less points than Hurkacz (95 vs. 96).

Tsitsipas served extremely well to win 75% of the points (41/55) behind his first serve, and he won 74% points (31/42) on his second serve. The Greek didn’t lose the concentration in converting 50% of the break points that he conquered (1/2). On the other side, the Pole was far from perfect in converting his break points as he converted only 20% of his break points (1/5). That was one of the key issues for his demise.

After this contest, the head to head between Tsitsipas and Hurkacz is 4-1 for Stefanos.
