Second seed Hubert Hurkacz and unseeded Marcos Giron will clash in the opening round of the 2024 Japan Open. The Wednesday encounter will be their first career meeting on hard court. Let’s look at the stats and a prediction of the match.
Giron is seeking his first ever win against Hurkacz. He has lost twice in this fixture with the most recent coming during this year’s grass campaign. The American debuted in Tokyo last year and had an incredible run to the semi-finals.
He will be hoping for a similar run as he seeks to end his current slump. Giron, who has lost more matches than he has won this year, is on a four-match losing streak.
Three of those losses were on hard courts, with the most recent being inflicted at the US Open. The 31-year-old’s struggles have seen him drop to 47th in the live ranking.
Hubert Hurkacz has lost in the opening round the two times he played in the main draw in Tokyo. He will be eager to not suffer the same fate for a third successive time.
Having never lost against Giron, he will be confident of finally making a winning start here. Hurkacz has registered both of his wins in this fixture on grass. He defeated Giron in Wimbledon in their first encounter three years ago and then in Halle this year.
Both wins were by straight sets, with the Halle win coming on his way to the final. The current world number eight is having a strong season. He has won 39 matches so far and secured his first career title on clay with victory in Estoril.
Hurkacz is yet to lose a first-round tie this season. The winner here will play Mattia Bellucci or Jack Draper next.
