I think Zed takes this comfortably, but I would love nothing more than to have nice-guy Hubi give 2021 one last #ABZ hurrah.

 

[Aabye5]

I think Hubi focused so much on trying to beat Med (and you have to admit he did ok) that he hasn't got a lot left in him.

But I'd love to see him take a set.

 

[The Big Foe fan]

Let's go hubi, get sinner semi
But I realistically don't think he wins.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Zverev in 2 sets.

 

[Deleted member 629564]

Round Robin stage is pretty funny: Hurkacz has already lost two matches, he can be set down against Zverev just to launch his A-game and cruise to the semifinal assuming Sinner lose on Thursday.

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

Something tells me the Italian federation will promise Hubi... uh, one very enjoyable evening if he can somehow pull this one off.

 

[DjokoLand]

Hubert is so unpredictable and inconsistent so it’s hard to know how he will play but the safe bet is Zed in 2

 

[Aabye5]

The one positive Hubi can take into this match is that it's not clay, which I think it's fair to say is his worst surface.

 

[Tshooter]

 

[Cortana]

Horcrux to win in 3 sets. The match afterwards (Sinner Med) would be epic.

 

[Deleted member 629564]

Is it a shell shock after losing to Medvedev 5th time in a row?

 

[Aabye5]

Do you think anyone will have questions for him if he beats Zverev?

 

[James P]

Hubi ends Zed's season in 3.

 

[Third Serve]

Hurkacz has a real shot honestly, but I think Zverev might put himself in there when it’s all said and done

 

[Tshooter]

Do you think anyone will have questions for him if he beats Zverev?

 

[Midaso240]

Hurkacz to take out the trash in 3

 

[Tennisfan339]

I read Hurkacz not even sure to play, he didn't practice today. They already called Auger-Aliassime and Karatsev in case Hurkacz pulls out.
If Hurkacz is replaced and Zverev loses 6-0 6-0, all he'd need is Medvedev to beat Sinner and he'd still qualify. (with only 1 walkover win against Berrettini... lol)

Sinner has a chance if he wins and Zverev loses.
Hurkacz also has a chance if he wins and Sinner loses.

Zverev should win though. The match against Medvedev was the best of the tournament. He was 2 points away and his return on the BP at 5-5 was out for 1 mili. Very high level match that could've gone either way. I don't see him losing his 3rd match after this.

 

[Bubcay]

Hurkacz is too inconsistent these days, so going with Zverev. If Hubi has one of his days and plays lights out like he occasionally knows, everything is possible...

 

[nolefam_2024]

If Hurkacz plays, he will get thrashed. He is not 100%.

 

[Aabye5]

If Hurkacz plays, he will get thrashed. He is not 100%.

Yes, I think so, too. But it was hard to tell how bad off he was with Sinner playing lights out tennis.

 

[Nicklo22]

If Hurkacz plays, he will get thrashed. He is not 100%.

Is he injured or something. I felt like he played at high level during meddy match and also Paris masters semis with nole . I didn’t watch the sinner match .

 

[nolefam_2024]

He seems injured. Karatsev was going to replace him.

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

He is apparently going to play, despite considering withdrawal until a few minutes ago... Too bad. Crazy AK might have woken up in a good mood and had a fighting chance. An injured Hubert has absolutely zero hopes of pulling this off.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Does Zverev need to win the match to move on to the semis? If he wins one set and loses the other two does he still move on?

 

[Tennis_Freak99]

Hurkacz has unraveled since the Medvedev match

 

[Arak]

I think he will retire after the first set.

 

[zvelf]

Zverev should win this comfortably.

 

[mike danny]

Zed's competition in his group has been so easy LMAO.

 

[Hitman]

Aslan should have played.

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

I think he will retire after the first set.

he will then need to depart Turin VERY quickly.

 

[UnforcedTerror]

I'm disappointed Hurkacz didn't pull out and let King Aslan entertain the crowd.

 

[Bubcay]

Hurkacz just doesn't have the game to hurt Zverev now... Too bad as I quite like the guy..

 

[Krish0608]

Lol @ Hurk. In a way it's good that Z is winning here. Novak vs Z will be an interesting Semi match-up.

 

[I Am Finnish]

If Sinner and Zverev win that means Sinner goes to SF?

 

[Krish0608]

If Sinner and Zverev win that means Sinner goes to SF?

Zverev

 

[James P]

If Sinner and Zverev win that means Sinner goes to SF?

No, Zverev goes with a win, Sinner/Hurk wins means Sinner SF.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Zverev

No, Zverev goes with a win, Sinner/Hurk wins means Sinner SF.

Thank you both

 

[Krish0608]

3rd consecutive 6-2 set loss for Hurk

 

[Bubcay]

No, Zverev goes with a win, Sinner/Hurk wins means Sinner SF.

Hurkacz will need a miracle today to win the way he is playing so Zverev is pretty much locked in for the semis...

 

[Hitman]

I will interested to see how Djokovic plays his dead rubber match tomorrow, considering he is very likely playing Zverev in the semis.

 

[Krish0608]

He won't tank in an obvious way like Thiem has been doing. But if he loses the 1st set he will probably go into energy conservation mode. Will mostly win in 2 though.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Hurkacz is playing well in the second set...

 

[Hitman]

He won't tank in an obvious way like Thiem has been doing. But if he loses the 1st set he will probably go into energy conservation mode. Will mostly win in 2 though.

Yes. I don't think he will want to fight hard in the 3rd.

 

[Picmun]

Poor Hubert, he's done for the season. Hope he's back stronk for next year.

 

[Bubcay]

Go Hubi... Playing much better now...

 

[Deleted member 629564]

Zverev and his trademark "Slowest in the ATP" second serves...

 

[Cortana]

Damn it Horcrux. I wanted Sinner in the SF.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Hurkacz is hanging on in there... but I think if this goes to a tiebreak Zverev will win it...

 

[Bubcay]

Damn it Horcrux. I wanted Sinner in the SF.

I would love to see Djokovic : Sinner matchup in the semis..
