However, in New York, for some reason, this has not yet been possible. The best result at the Grand Slam tournaments was last year’s Wimbledon semi-final.
Hubert can’t be perfect in every game
However, Wilander emphasizes that in the case of Gurkacz, it makes no sense to look only at statistics. - Hubert has a chance in every tournament. He’s the kind of slow progresser, but he’s moving in the right direction,” says the former number one men’s tennis player and current pundit broadcasting US Open Eurosport. He adds that he likes such players more than those who make sharp jumps up.
Gurkach can make a splash. Fibak makes it clear. “Competition has problems”
- He has a good hand, psychologically he is … maybe not the strongest, but stable. With his style of play, you may not be perfect in every game, but after what he’s done so far, he should feel like he can beat anyone, on any surface. Opponents are also well aware of this and are certainly not happy to see him in the tournament bracket, adds Wilander. - I don’t know how high Hubert is able to rise and whether he is ready to win Grand Slam tournaments right now. It’s hard to predict. However, he can do a lot, Wilander says.
Gurkach wants a lot of stress
Gurkacz’s first opponent at the US Open will be Oskar Otte (29), ranked 41st in the German ATP rankings. - He can be dangerous. Otte is playing some strange tennis. Powerful serve, powerful forehand, but so unusual. However, I believe that Gurkacz, with his intellect and talent, will be able to beat him - Wojciech Fibak (70) assesses the chances of his younger colleague on our pages.
Wojciech Fibak summed up the results of the draw for the Poles at the US Open. He knows what he’s talking about. It’s worth listening to!
Gurkach is also an optimist. In an interview with Marcin Vrone, American correspondent of the Facts TV channel in the USA, he assures that he is in good shape and hopes to finally play in New York to the best of his ability. - What do you wish me? That there will be a lot of stress because it will mean that I will stay in the tournament for a long time,” he said.
