Score, report, and key facts

1^st set.

2^nd set.

Tsitsipas overpowered the opposition at the beginning of the set after breaking Hurkacz in the 2^nd game (2-0) before consolidating his break and lead 3-0. That break defined the set and it was sufficient for Stefanos to win the set (6-3) since there were no other breaks.

3^rd set.

The set was pretty even as both sides managed to hold the serve. The only difference was 1 break that Hubert conquered in the 8^th game (5-3) before winning the set (6-3).

At the end of the match, Hurkacz scored 82 points vs. Tsitsipas’s 77 points.

Hubert served very well to win 80% of the points (43/54) behind his first serve, and he won 66% points (19/29) on his second serve. Hurkacz won this match even if he had a tough time in converting his break points as he converted only 33% (2/6). On the other side, Tsitsipas was far from perfect in converting his break points because he converted only 10% of his break points (1/10). That was one of the key issues for his demise.

After this encounter, the head to head between Hurkacz and Tsitsipas is 1-3 for Stefanos.
