Frequently Asked Questions
Djokovic Beats Hurkacz! 7-6(1), 4-6, 6-1 Hurkacz
Djokovic Is Really Leaning into the Ball Now and Shaping His Shots Around the Court with Trademark Precision. as I Type, He Fluffs a Shot at the Net and the Crowd Wails, but He’s Still in It at 30-30. Hurkacz Unsuccessfully Challenges a Baseline Call and It’s Match Point … and That’s It When the Pole Finds the Net from the Back of the Court!
Hurkacz Win the Second Set v Djokovic! 7-6(1) 4-6
A Double Fault from Hurkacz After a Confident Opening Winner, and It’s 15-15. a Vicious Spinning, Bouncing Second Serve Is Unreturned by Tennis’s Best-Ever Returner, and a Huge First Serve Next up Makes It 40-15 and Two Set Points. Djokovic Returns a Second Serve with Interest, Hurkacz Gets It Back, but the Serb Hits Long and It’s the Second Set for the Pole!
Djokovic Wins the First Set v Hurkacz! 7-6(1)
A Mini-Break Comes Immediately for Djokovic … Then a Poor Volley from Hurkacz Allows His Opponent an Easy Task in Passing for 2-0. Hurkacz Tries to Run Down a Brilliant, Deep Stroke to the Corner Next up from the Serb and He Gets There, but He Can Only Hit It Long. That’s 3-0. Hurkacz Pats a Forehand Limply into the Net for 4-0, Then on the Next Point, His Forehand Flicks off the Net and Bounces Long for 5-0. This Is Some Anti-Climax After a Competitive First Set. Djokovic Moves to the Verge of the First Set at 6-0 but Hurkacz Finally Gets on the Board … but Another Trademark Return from the Serb Seals the First Set. Very Disappointing, All Told, from Hurkacz in That Tiebreaker. Business Time for Djokovic, on the Other Hand.
