Must read

Hubert Hurkacz defeated Alexander Shevchenko and reached the quarterfinals of the ATP 250 tournament in Marseille. The Pole did not give a chance to the Kazakh, who was lower in rank.

Hubert Hurkacz went to Marseille with a simple task – to defend last year’s title. For him, the fight is to maintain the ranking points he gained last year when he triumphed on court in the south of France. Having received a free ticket in the first round, in the second he easily defeated Alexander Shevchenko 6:1, 6:4.

Hubert Hurkacz confidently defeated Alexander Shevchenko

The Pole could follow the competition between the Kazakh (until recently playing for the Russian) and Benjamin Bonzi (finalist in the last edition of the tournament) in the first round. When the Pole’s first set of competition took place in Marseille, he showed why he was seeded number one. In just a few minutes he took a 4-0 lead. The 23-year-old from Rostov only scored a goal, but from a pass from Hurkacz. However, the Hubies won 6-1 and could think more calmly about the next game.

There was no such one-sided game anymore. Initially, each player won with his passes. The minimal advantage was still on the side of the eighth tennis player in the world, who showed no mercy to the younger opponent on his own serve. First he broke Shevchenko, and after a while… he broke himself. In the following minutes, fans continued to watch for used break points. As a result, Hurkacz took the lead 5:3. He had the match ball, but the representative of Kazakhstan fought back. He couldn’t handle another one. The Pole won with a score of 6:4 and advanced to the quarterfinals.

The Pole’s meeting with the 66th ranked player will take place on Friday, February 9, no earlier than 15:30.
