Little first in Tokyo and we move forward to Hubi?
After a big title it was necessary to move on for Hurkacz but it's never easy and he came across a good Zhang, I think this premature defeat did him good and he was able to rest to finish strong this season!
Still in the race for the Masters, Hurkacz has burned a small joker and should not be missed this week. Faced with Lajovic who is not at all comfortable on a fast surface, he clearly has to get through it without losing too much energy. He leads 2/0 against the Serbian (I don't count the withdrawal) and should once again hurt him very badly with his overpowering serve. I don't really see Lajovic being able to break it, with a one-handed backhand it's hard to raise against good servers. Lajovic would have to hold his serve and be ultra clutch at the slightest opportunity to get out of it, it's possible but personally I don't think he will be able to bother him. The odds are super low but it's hard to put Hurkacz higher, the 2/0 is too low too so I'm going to turn to another bet that goes in this direction..
