Famous local tennis player Andrei Olkhovsky, the former sixth racket in the world and semi-finalist in doubles at the Australian Open, said in his comment to Gazeta that Pole Hubert Hurkacz lost to Russian Daniil Medvedev in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open. to the fact that it serves worse than usual and at the same time is inferior to the opponent in long rallies.
“With his height, Hurkach hit very few hits in the first serves, his percentage was low. What explains this? Get excited? It’s hard to say. I understand when you’re 180 cm, but when you’re two meters tall, serve high, don’t hit the square… I don’t know what to say. Typically in a Hurkacz match, the serve is the weapon. Here, at some moments, he took out this weapon and served with the second ball. And in rallies Danya can play better and stronger, and I think that was also the case in the decisive moments of this match,” says Olkhovsky.
Medvedev defeated Hurkacz in five sets: 7:6 (4), 2:6, 6:3, 5:7, 6:4. Now he will face German representative Alexander Zverev in the semi-finals.
