The Pole kept the title of the Halle tournament against the number 1
He won 6-1 and 6-4 after sixty-three minutes of play
The Polish Hubert Hurkacz frustrated the number one in the world, Russian Daniil Medvedevand won the title of halle tournament by winning the final by 6-1 and 6-4, after sixty-three minutes of play.
The Muscovite tennis player, who returned to the top of the circuit at the beginning of the week, has not finished finding the path to success in this 2022. Lost the Australian Open final earlier in the season and just seven days ago the one in Bolduque against the unknown Dutchman Tim Van Rijthoven.
Now, in Halle, It has been the Polish Hurkacz, twelfth tennis player on the circuitthe one that deprived him of adding the fourteenth title in his career, the first of the course.
Medvedev, who had won two of the four previous meetings with the Pole, did not enter the game well. However, the only one played on grass between the two, at Wimbledon, and also the most recent, in the Miami Masters 1,000, they finished on the side of their rival.
Hurkacz, who will be ‘top ten’ next Monday, was 4-0 at the start of the duel. A difference too big for anyone and that Medvedev was not able to channel. In the second, he missed the Russian’s kickoff. The player from Wroclaw did not waste it, who always remained safe with a service that he did not lose and closed the victory.
The Pole is a guarantee in finals. Before Halle, the first to play this year, they had not lost any. In 2019 he won the Winstons Salem and last year the three he played, Delray Beach, Miami Masters 1,000 and Metz, always on hard court. He also did not lose Halle’s to enlarge his records and release his record in 2022.
