Fourth seeded Hubert Hurkacz is on course to win only his second ATP Tour title. He faces unseeded Sebastian Korda in the final of the Delray Beach Open. Hurkacz won a tournament at Winston-Salem a couple of years ago but hasn't had a great deal of success since then. The disrupted 2020 season saw him reach the semi-final in Auckland at the start of the year but only one quarter final after that. Hurkacz didn't make it past the second round in a Grand Slam last year but the Polish number one (ranked 35th in the world) has played well in this tournament. He is yet to drop a set on the way to this final. It's not been the hardest of draws though, even in his semi-final he was up against qualifier Christian Harrison who is ranked outside the world's top 700.

Sebastian Korda is his opponent in this final and he began the week 119th in the world rankings. He is capable of good runs in tournaments though, as shown when reaching the fourth round of last year's French Open before losing to Rafael Nadal. He also had won a tournament on the Challenger circuit but didn't beat anyoe ranked in the top 100. This week has seen him defeat two seeds, namely Tommy Paul (5th) and John Isner (2nd). His semi-final saw him get the better of British player Cameron Norrie in straight sets. He has dropped sets in both of those wins over seeded opponents. A bet on over 22.5 games in this final is the recommended bet.
