Hubert Hurkacz and Frances Tiafoe are scheduled to face one another in the first round of the 2022 ATP Vienna Open on Tuesday, October 25.
Hubert Hurkacz comes to Vienna with a 38-19 season record. It’s been the best season for the Polish player in terms of tour wins, and thanks to his consistency, he hasn’t seen much fluctuation in the rankings. Hurkacz, who is ranked 11th in the world, won his fifth career title by defeating Daniil Medvedev in the Halle Open final. His perfect record in finals now stands at 5-0. But his perfect run came to an end in Montreal, where he reached his second season final. However, for the first time in his career, the Pole was defeated by Pablo Carreno Busta in a title fight. Hurkacz has been a semifinalist three times this year and has lost in the quarterfinals four times, in addition to the two finals.
Frances Tiafoe, a finalist at the Vienna Open last year, returns to the tournament in fine form this year. The American, who is currently ranked 17th in the world, has been outstanding since the start of the US Open, where he reached his first Grand Slam semifinal. Tiafoe then defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas in the Laver Cup before advancing to the finals in Tokyo. But he couldn’t add to the one title he won in Delray Beach in 2018, losing to Taylor Fritz. It was his second final of the season. He also lost the title match earlier this year in Estoril. Tiafoe is 32-22 overall this season, but he is 11-4 in the last 15.
