After a week-long of top-notch tennis battles, the 2024 Halle Open men’s singles championship will be contested by the world’s No.1 Jannik Sinner and the unflappable Pole Hubert Hurkacz on Sunday in Halle, Germany. Sinner, the No.1 seed of the tournament, survived three consecutive matches that went into the deciding set and a spirited challenge from Zhang Zhizhen in the semifinals to reach his first grass-court tournament finals. Sinner outpointed Tallon Griekspoor 6-7(8) 6-3 6-2, Fabian Marozsan 6-4 6-7(4) 6-3 and Jan-Lenard Struff 6-2 6-7(1) 7-6(3) to barge into the semifinal round where he faced Zhang, the player who upset No.3 seed Daniil Medvedev in the second round. The Italian controlled the pace of his semifinal match with Zhang by winning 81 percent of the first serves. Shifting the focus to the other side of the court, Hurkacz has dispatched all his four opponents in straight sets, though none of which could be considered a walk in the park. The Pole toppled Flavio Cabolli 7-5 7-6(2), James Duckworth 7-6(3) 6-4, Marcos Giron 7-6(5) 6-4 and Alexander Zverev 7-6(2) 6-4 to arrange a title clash with Sinner, whom he defeated twice in their previous four encounters.
