Hubert Hurkacz has shown excellent game in recent tournaments and has a slight advantage in the rankings over Borna Coric. He was able to defeat Kokkinakis and had brilliant matches against Bublik and Kecmanovic at the Toronto tournament. Although he lost in a three-set battle to Alcaraz, it should not overshadow his good form. It is also worth noting that Hurkacz reached the semifinals at last year's German Championships and won the Marseille tournament this year. On the other hand, Borna Coric has shown some inconsistency in recent matches, losing to Vukic in Toronto and Tsitsipas in Los Cabos. He has also lost in the early rounds of several tournaments. Despite Borna having the advantage in their previous encounters, Hurkacz's form and results recently make him the favorite in this match. Therefore, my prediction is a victory for Hubert Hurkacz.
My prediction for the match between Coric and Hurkacz is based on several arguments. Firstly, Coric has the advantage in head-to-head meetings, having defeated Hurkacz in their most recent encounter in April of this year. Secondly, Coric has shown a more competitive game on this surface this season and historically appears stronger than Hurkacz. Thirdly, after a lengthy and grueling match against Kokkinakis, it will be difficult for Hurkacz to recover and showcase his best tennis in just one day. Meanwhile, Coric managed to win his last game in straight sets, which gives him an advantage in terms of physical readiness. And finally, it is worth considering that Hurkacz may not be highly motivated in this tournament, considering the approaching US Open and the need to conserve energy for that event. All these arguments indicate that Coric has a greater chance of winning this game.
