Hubert Hurkacz vs Yosuke Watanuki Prediction: An easy win for the Pole

An easy win is predicted for one of the best players on grass and previously a finalist in Stuttgart. The Polish is attempting to win the title after a week of rest, having lost in the early stages of the Roland Garros.

The Polish, previously top 10 and finalist of the ATP World tour in London, looks to gain some form ahead of Wimbledon Championship. His first match after a disappointing Roland Garros, where he lost in the third-round vs. Pablo Varillas, is here against Watanuki, a player with a significantly shorter experience than him on grass. With his slide serve and knowledge of the serve and volley game, he shall pass this test quite easily.

The young Japanese first managed to beat the 41 years old veteran Feliciano Lopez in the previous round. The Spanish players used to be one of the best on grass; however, this will be the last season on tour, and has nothing left to give since the win arrived quite easily for the Japanese. Here, the challenge is bigger, and we doubt he will have any chance of victory in the match.

The form of the Polish player isn’t outstanding at the moment, but the difference on the grass between a previous semifinalist of Wimbledon and the young Japanese player is there. Since it’s the first match of the season on grass, he might find some struggles at the beginning but in the end, Hurkacz should win this game, we believe, without too many troubles.
