Hubert Hurkacz gave himself a scare, but eventually recovered to win and book his ticket for the rest of the tournament.

Up against Radu Albot (144th, qualifier), the Pole struggled to get into his stride, making far too many unforced errors.

That said, the world No. 7 gradually regained control of the match with an increasingly effective first serve (24 aces, 85% of points won on his first serve), and finally won in just over 2h30 (5-7, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4).

With almost 50 winners throughout the match, the unfortunate Halle finalist is now through to the second round, where he will face the winner of the match between Fils and Stricker.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?
