Prediction published on 31/10/2023, 23:06  by Kennedy Kechula in Tennis Predictions

Eleventh seed Hubert Hurkacz and the unseeded Roberto Bautista Agut will square off on Wednesday at the Paris Masters. The winner of this second-round duel will then play the winner of the tie between Casper Ruud and Francisco Cerundolo. Roberto Bautista Agut has the head-to-head advantage against Hurkacz and will hope to add to his three wins in this series. The Spaniard, who has struggled with his form all through the year, looked promising in the first round. He defeated Jiri Lehecka in straight sets to end a run of three successive defeats. The win allowed him to move up six places in the live ranking to 60th.

Hubert Hurkacz won his first-round tie with Sebastian Korda in three sets. The Pole has been in excellent form lately and has made the final in two of his last three tournaments. He won in Shanghai and will hope for the same outcome here. Hurkacz, who is a former Paris Master semifinalist, defeated Agut the last time they met which was earlier this year in Rotterdam. The win put to a halt a run of three successive defeats against the Spaniard. As he has excelled on indoor hard courts with 10 victories from 13 outings, Hurkacz will be confident of another victory. The 26-year-old is back in the ATP top 10 and is currently ranked ninth in the live ranking. This has put him firmly in contention for a place in the ATP Finals next month. Triumphing in Paris will see him qualify.
