MOSCOW, June 19, Vasily Bogdanov. Honored coach of Russia Andrey Olkhovsky said, that the Pole Hubert Hurkach in the final of the grass tennis tournament in the German Halle was better than the Russian Daniil Medvedev in everything. The meeting ended with a score of 6:1, 6:4 in favor of Hurkach, who received the fifth seed. The duration of the match was 1 hour 3 minutes. «I expected a more stubborn fight. Khurkach was better in every respect. He was better at serves, rallies, and in general he played more freely than Daniil. Since he took 78 percent of the points on the first serve, this speaks for itself for himself. Khurkach played the match very competently in terms of tactics. With such an opponent, you need to keep your serve. In addition, Daniil failed the beginning of both games, tried to return in the second, but nothing came of it. What can I say, Medvedev lost to a very worthy opponent, who is now in great shape. I think Hurkach will be one of the contenders for victory at Wimbledon. As for Daniil's form, he is improving. Despite the defeat in the final, during the tournament he looked better than last week,» Olkhovsky said .For the 25-year-old Hurkach, this is the fifth title in his career, as well as the first this season. Medvedev lost the third final in 2022.
