Command Analysis
Hubert Hurkacz is yet to lose a match at the current tournament. We must admit, however, that the Polish athlete had rather easy opponents so far.

In the next round, the Polish tennis player prevailed over Aleksandre Metreveli (6-7, 6-3, 6-1).
Diego Schwartzman is in perfect shape and also won both of his matches. In his opener, the Argentine defeated Nikoloz Basilashvili (6-1, 6-2).
