The Dubai tournament starts this week and the Polish Hubert Hurkacz faces the German Jan-Lennard Struff for the 1/16 finals. Very successful during his participation in the Australian Open where Hubert Hurkacz managed to reach the quarter-finals (eliminated by the finalist Daniil Medvedev), he did not manage to go to the final of Marseille where he beaten by Ugo Humbert, winner of the tournament. In Rotterdam, the Pole also fell early against Tallon Griekspoor in 3 sets during the second round. In this context, Hubert Hukacz will want to do well in Dubai, a tournament that he has never been able to win until now. Seeded number 3 in this tournament, he will logically be favorite to win this match but could come up against a German player looking for good results. Indeed, Jan-Lennard Struff was eliminated in the second round of the tournaments in Hong Kong, Melbourne and Rotterdam. During his participation in Doha, he did not exist and was quickly eliminated by a player lower ranked than him: Christopher O’Connell in 2 sets. This first round match in Dubai will not be easy for him to manage, but he could surprise us by probably scoring at least one set in this match. Against Hurkacz, Jan-Lennard Struff has already won 2 of the last 3 confrontations, so nothing is decided.
